I have solved nearly all the clued lights but am no way
near to getting the theme & thereby the unclued lights.
Can someone kindly give me a gentle hint please?
Does 11 x 11 mean straight multiplication?

Typical!

As soon as I typed my question the penny dropped.

Hi rosie, 11 players in each in a very popular sport.

Not multiplication - just 11 varieties of...
10 D or 18 D will help greatly.

Hi again Rosie, well done, posts crossed.

Thanks ginge & malone.

I should have twigged earlier.

14a unclued ... I have ?ORT?N .... is this team usually preceded by Greenock?

That's what I have.

Thanks malone

Enjoyed this, I know nothing about football but I know all the teams - as a child I spent every Saturday teatime with the wireless on for the results, my father, pencil poised in hand, checking his pools coupon. I loved the sing-song way it was delivered, can hear it still. And no, he never won!
