the 23 across clue is also perfect for tactile
Aside from soccer players, gauchos have leather balls (on their bolas) but they don't have to share them (or kick them) and they are permitted to use their hands
I must apologize, the saying about leather balls applies to rugby players not soccer players who have no known basis for claiming anything of the sort, unless they are doing so before a magistrate of Futbal in which case only their acting ability is relevant.
Pardon me, the saying was about rugby players, not soccer
