Crossword Genius

Said sailor and baker made crackers (5-5)

I believe the answer is:

above-named

'said' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sailor and baker made crackers' is the wordplay.
'sailor' becomes 'ab' (abbreviation for able seaman).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'baker' becomes 'oven' (I've seen this in another clue).
'crackers' indicates an anagram (informal term for mad).
'made' with letters rearranged gives 'amed'.
'ab'+'oven'+'amed'='ABOVE-NAMED'

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
