1. Could MC hammer be one of his tools? Stanley tools company?
2. Harry Belafonte sang of a lovely place, whilst the same land feature this place wouldn't have the same weather. Possibly Georgia but didn't see that beforeIsland In The Sun
3. Did Coogan rest on his laurels or did he do anything else? Steve Coogan's Laurel & Hardy biopic
4. Many a national league team would have the Champagne on ice waiting to win this trophy but it's just not cricket. Or football for that matter. Don't know The Stanley Cup Ice Hockey
5. Go south young man said a 30s song. Didn't realise it was that far south.
6. Lendl maybe wasn’t as big a tennis star as Borg but I loved to watch Ivan slam the ball down the line. Guessed it was an anagram - got San Vilam.
7. Tawny or Ruby I wonder which one Ollies mate preferred? Guessed it was a port but I was miles away.
8. Would this namesake presume he met a famous Doctor? Henry Morton Stanley meeting Dr Livingstone. I presume.
I thought Coogan's Bluff at first. It's a ridge overlooking a New York baseball ground (I think). The team that played there relocated to San Fransisco (go south, young man). Too many, probably unintentional, red herrings for me.Selby White wrote: ↑02 Aug 2022, 06:53 Clues 2 3 & 4 helped me get it.
From the song which refers to a hot island suspected a cold island.
Coogan's Bluff I have in my Clint Eastwood film collection.
Only trophy I thought of was a Stanley.
Knew Bluff Cove and Port Stanley were Falklands but missed it on my first scan of the area.
Totally unintentional The Coogan reference was actually Steve Coogan's portrayal of Stanley Laurel in the 2018 film Stan and Ollie.Sniffer wrote: ↑02 Aug 2022, 07:03I thought Coogan's Bluff at first.
