| Close season Quiz | |

| Now that we've exhausted ourselves in front of the TV and | |
| computer screen, it's probably time to unwind and relax until we | |
| start up again in less than a month. So have a go at these 50 | |
| light-hearted questions. | |
| All FL / PL referees from 1946. Some have more than one answer. | |
| Spellings may be different and some flexibility needed with | |
| pronunciation. Drip feed your answers please, with reasons, | |
| rather than answering them all in one go to give others a | |
| chance, and I will then 'like' or 'dislike' what you've | |
| suggested. I'll keep this open for a while. Good luck! | |

| AT once told me that neither he nor Mrs AT was any good at | |
| cryptic clues. Well, he has excelled himself here! There are a | |
| few that I thought of quickly enough - mostly those already | |
| solved - but the majority will need a fair amount of | |
| head-scratching, as I am completely bamboozled. Thanks for the | |
| brain exercise! | |

| I had no idea for number 5 until I saw your explanation. I | |
| suspect that AT was thinking of George Hartley. | |

| The only time I heard the expression in number 7 was during a | |
| cricket match between Earby and Settle - and it was not a belch | |
| that occasioned it. The explanation given for the remark was | |
| also the first time I heard the late US President's surname used | |
| in that context. | |

| For 47 Oasis gave the opposite advice. A referee from Ipswich | |
| had the same forename as the playwright | |

| If number 2 is Derek, then that is a remarkably good clue. | |

| The same goes for 49 if the answer is Jim. | |
