Late, Tony about in two-wheeled carriage (5)
I believe the answer is:
greig
'late tony' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'about in two-wheeled carriage' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'two-wheeled carriage' becomes 'gig' (I've seen this in another clue).
're' placed inside 'gig' is 'GREIG'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for greig that I've seen is " Former England cricket captain".)
