A topical one AG related:

He never walked alone until today, formed a business that was not limited after a bequest.
10 letters, 2 words.
 

CaptainD

No one? :sad:

Hint - if you hadn't already realised, the first part IS football related, and "today" DOES refer to the day of the post.

Interesting spin to throw current events into the puzzle...Nice one!

CaptainD

Yep you got it!

Spoiler
Rodgers (pl) to Roger (singular) without a clue to eradicate the D was perhaps a bit of a reach.  But you got it anyway so it can't have been too obscure! :cheesy:  For any (proper) football fan, YNWA is instantly recognisable as related to Liverpool FC, so I figured it would be pretty easy from that point of view.)

Nope.  Extra marks for creative spelling, though.

Could you at least let us know how many words please? :P

You gotta think like the puzzle designer, who is really lazy and only glazes over the first page of any given forum for puzzle ideas. :P
