Soccer star who could play in goal (6)

ginola
'soccer star who could play' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'in goal' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'goal' is 'gola' which is located in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
