End of match with Albion, ruined part of boot (7)
I believe the answer is:
hobnail
'part of boot' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'end of match with albion ruined' is the wordplay.
'end of' indicates one should take the final letters.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'ruined' is an anagram indicator.
The last letter of 'match' is 'h'.
'albion' with letters rearranged gives 'obnail'.
'h'+'obnail'='HOBNAIL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hobnail that I've seen before include "Protection for the sole of a heavy boot" , "Stud for boots" , "One keeping shoes on" , "Walk over roughly" , "Stud on boot" .)
