Awful flashback concerning footballers (9)
I believe the answer is:
halfbacks
'footballers' is the definition.
(I know this)
'awful flashback' is the wordplay.
'awful' indicates an anagram.
'flashback' is an anagram of 'HALFBACKS'.
'concerning' acts as a link.
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
