The best side of a club (5,6)
I believe the answer is:
first eleven
'a club' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'the best side' is the wordplay.
'the best' becomes 'first' (the top).
'side' becomes 'eleven' (I've seen this before).
'first'+'eleven'='FIRST ELEVEN'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
