Of course

Over to Macca...

Ok, here goes:

Sun-king's Shiraz

Sunking's Shiraz

I’ve got an idea, but he’s not a player. He’s recently become involved with the game. Am I on the right track?

I'm thinking Silvino Francisco because of the vino, but haven't figured out how the rest could fit yet

The answer is a player. I'm curious as to who you were thinking of though.

I like it, but it's not right.

I've edited the clue a tidy bit to clear it up a tad.

I was thinking Louis Theroux (he’s working on the ‘golden years’ snooker production).

The Sun King was one of Louis XIV’s nicknames.

Shiraz is a red wine, and Roux can mean red, or redhead in French.

If it’s not Theroux, is it Louis Heathcote? I’m struggling to explain the Shiraz link with Heathcote, though.

*edit Meant Shiraz, not roux

It is Louis Heathcote. You were right about the Louis XIV connection. Heathcote is a wine region in Victoria known for its shiraz.

Ahh. Got it half correct then!

Here’s another...

Glasgow Nimbus.

Is it Stephen Maguire? He's from Glasgow and I think Maguire might mean cloud in Gaelic. Can't remember where I heard that and I probably remembered wrong!

Rory McLeod perhaps?

Not correct, but I like your thinking.

McManusFan wrote:Rory McLeod perhaps?

Correct

Bit of a sneaky one, this. Glasgow simply denoted the ‘Mc’, rather than anything specific to Glasgow.

And of course, nimbus is a type of cloud.

I'm on a bit of a role with these.

On Ouse

Alien beast

Mark Allen

I guess you're thinking along the lines of Mork Alien? Good effort, but not who I have in mind.

Alfie Burden? Alf, the famous TV alien of sit-com fame + Burden = a donkey, the beast of burden.

Stephen Maguire

Well done LDS, you got it!

From one TV celebrity of bygone years to another for the next clue:

Mr. T.

Amine Amiri, whose A initials should give him the nickname, 'The A Team'

Peter Gilchrist? MRT is the name of Singapore's equivalent of the tube, and Peter Gilchrist is the only pro snooker player I could find to have represented Singapore. He's best known as a fantastic billiards player, but did participate in the 1994 World Championship.

My next guess is

I pity the (Marco) Fu...

Maybe T as in Tee, as in tee off and golf. Mr Golf can only refer to Dennis Taylor.

Oh wow, that's a surprise, I thought I'd get back to someone getting it real quick and then waiting hours for me to say it's correct, but no correct answers yet.

Are we supposed to give clues in this quiz?
