Put in charge by clubs in game, player blows it (7)
I believe the answer is:
piccolo
'player blows it' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'put in charge by clubs in game' is the wordplay.
'put' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'in charge' becomes 'ic' (abbreviation for 'in charge').
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation in card games).
'in game' becomes 'polo' (polo is a kind of game. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
'ic'+'c'='icc'
'icc' placed within 'polo' is 'PICCOLO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for piccolo that I've seen before include "Instrument (meaning "little")" , "Little flute" , "High flute" , "Played, perhaps" , "producer of note" .)
