Point admitted by respondent working for football club (7,5,3)
I believe the answer is:
preston north end
'working for football club' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'point admitted by respondent' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'point' could be 'north' (north is a kind of point) and 'north' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'respondent' is 'prestonend' which is present in the left over letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
