    Now I must warn everyone it's not easy.....what's black when you buy it? Red when you use it? And grey when you throw it away. Oh and he even gave out a couple of clues, think BBQ and you would have problem lighting the BBQ without it...phew! that's got me stumped.

    Charcoal, though it should actually be white when you are using it

    Isn't it technically 'ash' when you've used it in which case I think you're right and the correct answer is Squirrel.

    He once wore grey for Man Utd, but nobody could see him or his team mates.
