I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'a heavy?' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'pull the other one' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for goon that I've seen before include "He's very stupid" , "someone rather stupid" , "Is this show" , "Silly person - bully (US)" , "Foolish person - thug (US)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
