 really harder than in the last weeks.... for those who would appreciate a hint: an additional E5= might really help. And I give this hint in such a strange way, so nobody complains about me spoiling the fun for people "unwillingly" reading comments ;)

 [Frank Lampard's shirt number] missing in the hint above. Seems like pointed brackets are not allowed in the chat...

Very very hard, took me many hours. Finally solved it with 2 or 3 head chains (without hint). Maybe I'll check it again and upload my solution tomorrow, if desired.
