Team to request some fries, maybe (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

side order

'some fries maybe' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'team to request' is the wordplay.
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'to request' becomes 'order' (an order is a request from someone in authority).
'side'+'order'='SIDE ORDER'

(Another definition for side order that I've seen is " dish".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
