I believe the answer is:

bolton wanderers

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

'team' is the definition.
(football team)

'lock being shown by people walking aimlessly with football' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'lock' could be 'bolt' (bolting is a kind of locking) and 'bolt' is located in the answer.
'being' could be 'wanderer' (wanderer is a kind of being) and 'wanderer' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ons' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
