mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof].

Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

ImNotJohn

[CdM] Chess player? - NO, mate.
[irach] Yank? - NO
[FGZstar] Any of several thousand cricketers with a 'P' somewhere in the name? - NO (remember I said you wouldn't need the 'P' to get the answer - since I'm not going to insist you match the words on the card exactly)
[Juxtapose] Died young? - NO
A small clue in the form of a clarification: if CdM's question had been 'Sportsman?', the answer would have been 'NO'.

CdM

A sports commentator (in either a broad or narrow sense of the term)?

ImNotJohn

[CdM] Bill McLaren etc? NO (He would probably have said YES in the very broadest sense, but that's not why he's known)

FGZstar

A member of some sort of sporting organisational body, possibly the president?

ImNotJohn

Warming up

[FGZstar] Member/President of sporting organisation? - YES *Applause* You could quibble with the exact description but it's absolutely in the right area.
