Winger on fire getting second of goals (8)
I believe the answer is:
flamingo
'winger' is the definition.
(flamingo is a kind of bird)
'fire getting second of goals' is the wordplay.
'fire' becomes 'flaming' (synonyms).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'second of goals' becomes 'o' (lnd letter of 'goals').
'flaming'+'o'='FLAMINGO'
'on' is the link.
(Other definitions for flamingo that I've seen before include "Pink flier" , "Pink wading-bird" , "Wading bird with pink and red plumage" , "Pink wader" , "Exotic bird" .)
