Thanks, John. I was about to click like, until I remembered.

The first look came up with a dozen answers - enough to encourage me to persevere with the difficult ones ahead!

I think that the answers are arranged alphabetically by first name, only from the first ten letters of the alphabet. This settles the problem of which of two possibilities to select for number 35.

A few that I have not seen:

 1. Adam Nunn
 2. Adam Crysell
 3. Adam Ricketts
 4. Akil Howson
 5. Alan Cresswell
 6. Alistair Nelson
 7. Andre Marriner
 8. Andrew Laver
10. Andrew Aylott
18. Charles Breaks pear
20. Christopher Husband
23. Darren Cann
30. Dean Whitestone
36. Gary Maskell
38. Gary Hilton
40. George Byrne
42. Graham Kane
46. Ian Cooper
50.James Linington.

Now for a bit more thinking.

I hope I have avoided autocorrect errors this time - I did spot that it had changed Akil to Ability. Obviously a sound judge.
