Comments on the clue
1.Clever anagram
2.An anagram of the standard of 'genuine class' = 'alec guinness'! :)
3.John Ireland seems a bit obscure, but this clue works so wonderfully well that I can overlook that. 5 points.
4.Remarkable! What a wonderful discovery.
5.Surely the composite anagram formulation requires AB jumbled might be XY jumbled. 'Might have been' doesn't really represent the equivalence
