Leaders in football league have gone up? (5)
I believe the answer is:
flown
'gone up?' is the definition.
'flown' can be an answer for 'gone' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not certain of the 'up?' bit.
'leaders in football league have' is the wordplay.
'leaders in' says to take the initial letters.
'have' becomes 'own' (to have something is to own it).
The first letters of 'football league' is 'fl'.
'fl'+'own'='FLOWN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flown that I've seen before include "Disappeared" , "(Time has) gone quickly" .)
