Hi Siamcat
Sorry its took a while to get back to you. No, i'm not from Liverpool I was born and bred in Leicester. Was a fan of The Reds, though, back in the days of Shanks and Paisley (Bob, not Ian!)
Loved your clue, by the way, and had a brief aberration of Jimmy Tarbuck (not Osmond) singing "Long-haired lover from Liverpool" gap-toothed an' all! Can you picture that? Hmm... nooo!
Good luck with this weeks Clueless,
TR
