"The Retford imp was, and still is, one of the most fondly admired figures in the game... the rolling gait and big sad eyes make him Chaplinesque – and like all clowns, there is pathos behind the public image... At times, genius sat on Randall's shoulders – the only trouble was it would not stop fidgeting"

Thanks, Mamya! It's been driving me crazy! I've tried googling but couldn't come up with anything. Going to bed now.......G'night! Sweet dreams!

Clue: Organic compound molecularly similar to another but atomically different (8)
? S ? L ? G ? E
I would have thought the answer would be isomer, but obviously it doesn't fit

Isologue

Thank you, chris g! Wherever did you find this? I've got a Biochemistry diploma ( a side line) and have never heard of it!!! (perhaps I wasn' t listening that day?!)

If it's any consolation, elle, I've a degree in Chemistry and taught the subject for 30 odd years and I've never heard the term - in fact I don't understand what it means from the definition, and Google hasn't helped much either!

Thanks, Chris! that makes me feel much better! To my mind, 'isomer' fits the clue - it just unfortunately isn't the answer!
