Weekend Quick Cryptic 14 - Season's Greetings from Johninterred

My fellow TimesforTheTimes contributor and expert solver, Phil Jordan, and I are continuing to produce crosswords to fill the gap left by the Saturday Times not having one. The plan is for us to alternate, publishing one a fortnight, and this week it's my turn. As it's our last of the year I've included a bit of a seasonal theme.

You can find links to the crossword here and the answers below. Feel free to leave any comments or questions here as you would do on TfTT.

[Hints and tips...]

• The grid includes the names of 5 members of a famous team and their manager. One of the names is in a less usual spelling, but trust the wordplay to get to the correct version.


• In the spirit of the QC of introducing solvers to different clues types and setters' tricks, there are a couple of clues that introduce some play with punctuation. In one of them you need to ignore it completely, but in the other it is really quite important.


• And, finally, a piece of general knowledge which I hope is familiar - there is reference to the singer of "When a Man Loves a Woman".

Enjoy!
