good grid apart from too obscure football one.

Hi, yeah thought football one would be most tricky - thought Ipswich was the possible entry clue, possibly should have added other more famous single winners like Southampton but as I'd chosen to try for a hard category thought selected teams were (just about) justified.

The football one was OK: I grouped the footballing elements OK and I know nothing about football! Though of course I didn't get the full connection, but it was a fair play for a Hard. The "chop" one was a delight.
