Recall of lad and lout (3)
I believe the answer is:
yob
'lout' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'recall of lad' is the wordplay.
'recall of' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'lad' becomes 'boy' (I've seen this before).
'boy' back-to-front is 'YOB'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for yob that I've seen before include "Troublemaker" , "Hooligan, ruffian" , "Tough" , "Hooligan kind of boy" , "Loutish young man" .)
