That awfully nice footballer (4)
I believe the answer is:
ince
'footballer' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'that awfully nice' is the wordplay.
'that awfully' indicates an anagram.
'nice' is an anagram of 'INCE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ince that I've seen is " at 16 down [MAN UNITED]".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
