    I stepped out for supper - Taff should have perhaps got Chopra, since he represented that other other Welsh team?

    A place that is apt to make your head turn (6,6)

    In fact heads could definitely roll with a poor result.

    Not the answer, but aka (5,4)

    Yes indeed - away you go.

    Boleyn Ground received its name from a house that stood next to the ground, called Boleyn Castle, and which supposedly had been home to Anne Boleyn. These days Boleyn Ground is more commonly referred to as Upton Park.
