Hello everyone,

I have two that I cannot get. Driving me crazy!

13/28 Across: Strangely, it's Bradford gem in London (8,6)
43 Across: Korean eagle (3)

I have the first and last letter of 43ac: L _ E
Obviously, it must be 'LEE', but can anybody tell me why? Just for peace of mind.

Thanks

I can’t get 25(a) either. Would be “Kewell” if cricket score is “w.n” and not “run”?

Thanks vonzepp: only saw your kind response now. As a matter of interest, both Roche and Revie would fit as Sunderland strikers?
