"The Greatest” wingers from Goodison stand in a row (5)
I believe the answer is:
align
'stand in a row' is the definition.
'align' can be an answer for 'row' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'stand in a' bit.
'the greatest wingers from goodison' is the wordplay.
'the greatest' becomes 'Ali' (Muhammad Ali was known as the Greatest).
'wingers from' means to remove the middle letters (letters on the wings of the word).
'goodison' with its middle removed is 'gn'.
'ali'+'gn'='ALIGN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for align that I've seen before include "Arrange so as to be parallel" , "Place in a row" , "Adjust -coordinate" , "Put in correct positions" , "Ally (oneself with)" .)
