Soccer great (4)
I believe the answer is:
pele
'soccer great' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for pele that I've seen before include "Brazilian footballer, scored over 1000 goals" , "Footballing legend, aka Edison Arantes do Nascimento" , "Former Brazilian footballer" , "Brazilian said to be the best footballer ever" , "Noted Brazilian footballer" .)
