In the meantime, here's a final hint (and it's a gimme) - the solution is not as difficult as it INITIALLY appears.

Far out. I shouldn’t even have been selected for this match.

Even with this gimme clue I can’t see the answer 😭

YAY! With 10 minutes ‘til the deadline, I’ve finally worked it out!

Never mind me, I’m just thinking aloud.

Yes, @Ghostwriter has reaped the rewards for her perseverance and becomes one of the Famous Five.

Matthew 20:16 - "So the last will be first ..."

The solution to the teaser is that the last letter of each player's first name is also the first letter of their surname.

Tom (Thomas) Sims was a naughty ruse. I don't know if it made any difference to people's thinking or not.

The baton has now been passed to @Little Goffy who has his next effort ready to go (or so I am assured).

Well done Ghosty - I thought you might "phone a friend"?

Didn’t need to, Bangerz.

Although I did toy with the idea of PM-ing @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew in a “phone a friend” manner. 🤭

Considered you as well but knew you wouldn’t budge. 😁

Oooh, a naughty ruse indeed you cad!

In about four minutes my wife and baby son will come out the arrivals gate after six weeks away, so there will be some delay while airport staff figure out how to restore me from a pile of quivering jelly on the floor.

Did I ever mention I love youse guys? Cos I love youse guys. Even Cranky and Pickett are all right, y'know.
