Writer giving new guy cache for free (8,7)
I believe the answer is:
geoffrey chaucer
'writer' is the definition.
(Geoffrey Chaucer is an example)
'new guy cache for free' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'guy'+'cache'+'for'+'free'='guycacheforfree'
'guycacheforfree' anagrammed gives 'GEOFFREY CHAUCER'.
'giving' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for geoffrey chaucer that I've seen before include "Poet" , "author" .)
