Incentives for footballers (5)
I believe the answer is:
spurs
This might be a double definition.
'incentives' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'footballers' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spurs that I've seen before include "Kicks out" , "One side of London" , "is stimulating" , "incentives" , "soccer team" .)
