The answer to each question is a surname of a person born or associated with Birmingham. Answers fit in to the corresponding line above and when completed the letters in the red dashes will spell out the name of another famous Brummie.

Please allow some time for others to have a try before posting any answers. Thank you.

1. How would you have seen him on tv? How.
2. An irony to comment on this sport. For him maybe.
3. No need to tell them his name. It smells nice.
4. A mouse. Older than Mickey, a triumph in Rotterdam.
5. An early education possibly helped overall. Mamma Mia I’d say so.
6. No shake or roll in the concert hall.
7. Known for many types of innovation. A type all of its own.
8. No hen but his plaster. Needed in Spotsylvania, Totopotony and Deep Bottom without a doubt.
9. A degree, one of three but no singing for this 'thrush'.
10. A place to carry, romantic some would say.
11. Not a hit but many a four and six.
12. A mate of Geezer’s. An Australian certainly not.
13. On the banks of the Soar? Sounds like it but not a Mole.
14. Expensive? Worth a million in the forest.
15. A religious sort of scientist?
16. Not orange but sill funny.
17. Historically as plain as the nose on your face. Well almost.
18. If you thought his plants were scary, I’d avoid his ‘birds’.

Number 4 the great triumph in Rotterdam, when the Captain Dennis Mortimer held up the European Cup.
(When it was a proper competition !)
 
i think there has been 11 numbers guessed so far...maybe MWS could let us know how many of them are correct so far
 
All answers have been correct so far, except for the first answer to no. 3 which has now been answered correctly.

Reading question 9 again, I'm not sure it's as clear as I thought so I might add a little to it if no one gets it.
 
For number 11 "Not a hit but many a four and six.'
I was thinking of MJK Smith the Warwickshire batsman, he hit a few boundaries.
 
Is number 8 Tony Hancock?

Major General Hancock fought in the battles named during the American Civil War.
