Correct! I didn't see, but I'll assume you were first since Marc's post showing the correct answer has been edited after yours.

To be fair, even I got the answer after that last clue*, having never even watched Big Brother, and was just typing it in a fancy way when Marc's popped up.

*but then I do have a dog face.

I'm pretty sure Milligan was English, of Irish descent. (what we used to call a "plastic Paddy")

It's spelled Edison on Pele's wikipedia page, although I can't be arsed to argue whether that's the official spelling or not.

Being the sporting statto and wordsmith that I am, I managed without a solver to figure out the scramble was Pele's full name (not many footballers have got names of 25 letters), although I did have to google "Pele" to find out exactly what his first names were.

Looks like James has set a new scramble so I'll leave off setting a new one for now.

Oh. It says his birth certificate says Edison but he prefers to use Edson.


Wait, no he doesn't, the lying bastard, he calls himself Pele.

(Edit to add that I really should have checked before attempting the correction, but I was positive I've only ever seen Edson :()

He wears 27 for Huddersfield Town. Although, in fairness, not can name 1 player who plays for my brilliant football team, so I'll give 2 bonus clues.

His first name sounds like a religion and his surname is the same as that of the England Under-21 manager.
