Thank you for your help. Not into football so missed that one.
I should be able to get 12 as i know some players but I just cant see it. Can someone give me a letter pls to help me???
maybe the forward is to misdirect- maybe its another position
He's a bit of a risk
yes i got him now thanks (altho he has a bro too i think)...it was the positive I couldnt see
ok got it now ---something in the word HAS.
The something is a new one on me but i see it means optimistic if I got it right
I know I got the right answer but now wonder if its for wrong reason's!
Definition is 'chances' - Has round P for positive + the footballer.
Thanks I was wrong then... I'd gone for HAZARDOUS (Awithout a pattern but just realised the answers 10... i got the right 10 letter one thanks. Ignore my ramblings but I did discover the name ARDOUZ is linked with optimistic... not that its relevant in the end
A stretch too far for me this 12a one
Has anyone got a link to how the answer (P+ Hazard in HAS )means the same as chances. The final word I have is an adjective... I never seen this word with a S on the end looking like a plural Noun???
Puzzled Bobb
It can be a plural noun for chances - scroll down

n.
