American football player who directs the attacking play (11)

I believe the answer is:

stickleback

(Other definitions for stickleback that I've seen before include "Swimmer" , "Spined tiddler" , "Small spiny fish" , "Small pugnacious fish -- kick Cable St (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
