Winger’s worn green boots (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
brent goose
'winger's' is the definition.
(brent goose is a kind of bird)
'worn green boots' is the wordplay.
'worn' is an anagram indicator (worn can mean damaged).
'green'+'boots'='greenboots'
'greenboots' anagrammed gives 'BRENT GOOSE'.
(Another definition for brent goose that I've seen is " bird - with 12a".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
