Bury, a team familiar to soccer fans (5)
I believe the answer is:
inter
'bury' is the definition.
(to inter is to put into the ground)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inter that I've seen before include "Prefix meaning in the middle" , "get put down!" , "I rent (anag.)" , "Send to ground" , "an Italian soccer team?" .)
