What George was, at soccer? (4)
I believe the answer is:
best
'soccer?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for best that I've seen before include "Most excellent; outwit" , "Most outstanding" , "Peerless" , "The most talented" , "BOSOM] ?" .)
