I believe the answer is:

teddy boy

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

'old rocker' is the definition.
'teddy boy' can be an answer for 'rocker' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'old' bit.

'sexy underwear i'm thrilled' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'underwear' could be 'teddy' (all-in-one undergarment) and 'teddy' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'boy' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
