'eggheads' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'popular archer one bloke's primarily identified among' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'popular' could be 'in' ('in' can mean trendy) and 'in' is found in the answer.
'archer' could be 'tell' (folk hero William Tell) and 'tell' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found within the answer.
'bloke's' could be 'gents' (both can mean a man) and 'gents' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
