<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">football side</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for eleven that I've seen before include "Number killed in the Peterloo massacre" , "Sporting side" , "Time for the mid-morning tea break?" , "Lowest two-digit prime" , "Late" .)
