Nevertheless last (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
after all
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'nevertheless' is the first definition.
(after all can mean nevertheless)
'last' is the second definition.
(coming after everyone else)
(Other definitions for after all that I've seen before include "Nevertheless, when everything has been considered" , "When everything is said and done" , "I mean, when everything's said and done" , "at the end of the day" , "In spite of any indications to the contrary" .)
