Geocache Description:

*** The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates. ***

This is one of my favourite elevens. I'll throw in the twelfth man as well, for good measure.


To solve this puzzle, unscramble each anagram to find the twelve names.
Then do some research to find the year of each man's debut. Then use the
last digit of each of these years to construct the coordinates.

Openers:
i. A name will thrill
ii. Graphic knot tutor

Middle order:
iii. Renew jet op
iv. To embark
v. Adverse point
vi. Like carbon
vii. My sly soccer vet

Lower order:
viii. Clap gunman
ix. Crocheter's Clothespin
x. Invent tan dad
xi. Hmm. Stat it!

Twelfth man:
xii. Lacerated pip

The cache is located at:
S 35 (ix - vi)(vii - i).(iv)(viii - v)(iii + ii) E 149 (xi)(i + ii).(iii)(x + v)(xii)


Checksums: S 28, E 32


Congrats to Sumorai for first to find.
