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 tell whether this defines the answer.
'put in charge by clubs in game' is the wordplay.
'put' is an insertion indicator.
'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' going into '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" .)
