Thank you all for your hints. It’s taken me a good long while to complete but can now parse them all. Final penny drop was the rich man in 3d. Doh!
Would only have got about half a dozen clues without your help. Have learned lots. I’m a sporadic crossworder, Saturday guardian only, so this forum is brilliant. 😊

Yesterday I discovered Hero was a girl, how sexist of me to assume otherwise ;)

15 was way in for me. Being a left footer helped.

Sorry to be so late putting this in.
This was a hard puzzle.
I struggled for hours, and then once the theme was obvious I could leap ahead.
Could not have done it though, without this blog.
Many thanks.

Thanks everyone. I was about to give up on Sunday as I had only managed to solve two clues, but kept going as so many of you said how much you’d enjoyed it - and shared some hints.
Finally finished it yesterday (Tuesday).
