    Royal Grounds = Queens Parks and Park Wardens are often known as Rangers

    03 - These guys are no fools - HARLEQUINS - SIDV79
    Fools = clowns = Jesters you can work out the rest

    04 - Napoleon and the Isle of Wight perhaps - SAINT HELENS - ESSEXPHIL

    Ply mouth Argyle, really I make these too easy

    Motor City was Detroit and well it's simple after that

    08 - GB,s silver team - STIRLING ALBION - SIDV79
    Albion is the ancient term for Britain and Stirling is a play on Sterling

    09 - Council in centre possibly - MIDDLESBROUGH - ESSEXPHIL
    Borough Council, say no more

    Was going to use rodent but a shrew is A Soriciade, same as moles

    If you don't know who John Denver is think poor mans Glen Campbell

    12 - Old fighters suit Superman - KENT SPITFIRES -DRAGON1964

    14 - Find noble fighters at source - WORCESTER WARRIORS - ESSEXPHIL
    A play on the word Sauce

    15 - Wander through London suburb hunting boat parts - HULL KINGSTON ROVERS - MAXALLY
    Easy enough when broken down

    Thanks for the quiz Mark, it was fun. 19) did stump me for a while as I could not shift my thinking from Doncaster Rovers, even though I knew that was incorrect but I began to think of writers names & of course Milton was in them. Likewise I was stuck on Rangers for 2) and it wasn't until I was going through all the Scottish team names that I realised it was QPR. Looking forward to the next one
