ETA: EH, you’ve completely stumped me yet again :), so you may have three further DQs - though I rather suspect they won’t be needed. If anyone wants to use one or more pending DQs as a guess, as MonkeyMensch has done, I’m cool with that. I think there’s probably enough info out there now to solve it but you’re welcome to ask standard DQs as well. No more IQs as outstanding DQs will take us well over 20 (but again, I don’t think they will be needed).

FETA: MM, you’re also entitled to one further guess.

DQ: Known for a team sport?

Yes.
