Local man acquires sports calendar (7)
I believe the answer is:
almanac
'calendar' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'local man acquires sports' is the wordplay.
'sports' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the answer is sported or displayed in the clue).
'ALMANAC' is hidden within 'local man acquires'.
(Other definitions for almanac that I've seen before include "Annual publication with mixed data, forecasts etc." , "Annual reference book" , "Annual list of dates" , "Calendar with astronomical data and other information" , "Year book with astronomical events, tides etc" .)
