Zhang Anda?

The middle (heart) of Tarzan is ZA.

Ah, gotcha. It’s nothing to do with Weissmuller, but you went about ‘heart’ the correct way.

Nope. Again, correct use of ‘heart’, but not the correct solution.

You’ll need to go back to 20th century UK culture if you’re not getting the Tarzan reference.

Without that clue I doubt anyone would have got there, lol. Even with, that's still quite obscure to those specifically interested in politics!

Michael Heseltine's nickname was Tarzan. So the Answer is Matt Selt.

Correct!

Admittedly that was a bit niche, not my best work. Well solved.

Necromancing Vera

Let's get the obvious one out of the way first:

Mark Selby

From Vera Selby, and he does sometimes look like he's come back from the dead.

Peter Devlin?

Necromancing > devine
Vera > Lynn

Devine Lynn > Devlin

Could be Chris Wakelin on a similar line of logic as Prop.

Necromancing -> Waking the dead
+
Vera Lynn -> lin

I think this is it. There’s also a funeral wake, which fits nicely.

Also I failed to spell divine correctly. Bungke!

Yes, it's Chris Wakelin for the reasons stated.

I think we need an LDS leaderboard update. It’s been a while.

That felt like a cheeky bit of theft on my part - but I'll take it! I can't imagine I'm doing great on the old leaderboard.

Next clue:

Homeless Docker

A Steve, Davis perhaps?

Docker > stevedore

I can't see much value in continuing the scoreboard at this point. I don't think much has changed other than the numbers. Generally speaking, it's the people who play the most who score the most, which is pretty much self evident.

Bang on!

Dennis sinned

a palindrome.

Noppon?

Bingo!

Attila bobtail

Kyren Wilson

Hun + Dog -> hangdog (if you squint and tilt your head)

Kyren fits the bill there, probably due to his seafaring past.

quite close, but for completely the wrong reason

He Guoqiang?

Attila > The Hun > warrior > battle
Bobtail > cat

Battle Cat > He-Man

No, but I like it!
You're both right to ne looking at cirrent top 64 players

Pang Junxu?

Attila > Hungary
Bobtail > (Hungary) short tail > Hungar > hunger > Pang

Or perhaps Gary Wilson?

Attila > Hungary
Bobtail > shortened (tail) > Hungary shortened > gary (Hungary’s tail)

Prop wrote:Or perhaps Gary Wilson?

Gary Wilson is correct.

I was thinking
Attila without the Hun is Hungary without the Hun.
And Bob Wilson's 'tail' is Wilson

Over to you, Prop
