Footballer's girlfriend/model Annie taking on queen of German style (9)
I believe the answer is:
wagnerian
'footballer's girlfriendmodel annie taking' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'queen of german style' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'queen' could be 'er' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina) and 'er' is located in the answer.
'german' could be 'g' (abbreviation) and 'g' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'on' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wagnerian that I've seen before include "long and loud, perhaps?" , "like Siegfried" , "great and powerful" , "Massive, dramatic and emotionally intense - Reagan win (anag)" , "In the style of a German romantic composer" .)
