half past eleven

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

'time' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'footballer with art medium gets regular' is the wordplay.
'footballer with' becomes 'half' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'art medium' becomes 'pastel' (I've seen this in another clue).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'regular' becomes 'even' (similar in meaning).
'half'+'pastel'+'even'='HALF PAST ELEVEN'

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
