Hi CP.

5d: I think the answer may possibly be (Tony) Hibbert who plays for Everton FC.

Bert is a friend of Ernie (Sesame Street).

Not sure of the rest of the wordplay...

Personally, I hate the game (or anything that means moving about), but I always knew there would, one day, be a reason for listening to Eamon Andrews reading out football results on the wireless. That day has come.
