Revolutionary sale excited football team (7)
I believe the answer is:
chelsea
'football team' is the definition.
(Chelsea FC)
'revolutionary sale excited' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' becomes 'che' (Che Guevara the Marxist revolutionary).
'excited' indicates an anagram.
'sale' anagrammed gives 'lsea'.
'che'+'lsea'='CHELSEA'
(Other definitions for chelsea that I've seen before include "issue for Clintons" , "Where you might get buns" , "Hillary Clinton's daughter" , "Side" , "The Blues of Stamford Bridge" .)
