PS Not to mention the greatest detail of all - watch where the ball crosses the line in the actual game, then compare it to the placing of the X within the goal - utterly superb!

Thanks brendan, I've just viewed it - it's a great moment (I hope BW is a crossword fan).

I have solved all clues, found clashes, thematic structure and relevant names, but do I submit full clashes in cells or only a letter which fits both across and down clues? Some names are a bit large to squash into one cell. What do others think/know?

Diver, neither of your options is what happens to the clashes. You need an extra step - you follow the message given in the Across clues.

Thanks for that, Malone - all done now!

Thanks, Diver, glad that helped.

That was magnificent, even though I can’t stand the subject matter.

I bet ‘Awinger’ is a ‘Wiganer’.

Could someone please help me out with 48a? I have a seven letter word defined by the last word in the clue, but can’t parse it. Also, does the first word contain a four letter word for the team of the players appearing in 1ac?

Nevermind, penny dropped as soon as I posted!

Can I have a tip on the clash between 9d and 17a? I think that must be the last one, which has a lot of letters to use up!
The definitions, or one of, might help.
Otherwise I am done. Got delayed by entering wrong dye at 18.
