Supporter punches a poor player in Lincoln? (7)
I believe the answer is:
abraham
'lincoln?' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'supporter punches a poor player' is the wordplay.
'supporter' becomes 'bra' (a bra gives support to breasts).
'punches' means one lot of letters goes inside another (punch can mean to create a hole in).
'poor player' becomes 'ham' (ham is a kind of player. I am not sure about the 'poor' bit.).
'a'+'ham'='aham'
'bra' put into 'aham' is 'ABRAHAM'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abraham that I've seen before include "E.g. Lincoln" , "- Lincoln, US president" , "OT Hebrew patriarch" , "The first Jewish patriarch" , "Hebrew father of all the Jews" .)
