If Beckham went soft in the head, might he live here? (7)
I believe the answer is:
peckham
'if beckham went soft in the head might' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'he live here?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'he' could be 'ham' and 'ham' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'peck' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
