Goal attempt by a player taking a dive? (6)
I believe the answer is:
header
'dive?' is the definition.
(a header is a dive forwards)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for header that I've seen before include "Line at top of each page of a document" , "Dive (made by a footballer?)" , "A soccer pass; a laid brick" , "One way to get a goal in football" , "Adhere (anag) - part of an email" .)
