Press covering last letter from George Best (5)
I believe the answer is:
cream
'best' is the definition.
(as in 'the cream of the crop')
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cream that I've seen before include "Dairy product" , "Very best; pale yellow" , "Top or best part" , "Fat-rich part of milk" , "'There are more ways of killing a cat than choking it with ....." .)
