Time for great footballer to retire is perfect? On top of the world and employed by communications business! (9,4)
I believe the answer is:
telephone pole
'employed by communications business' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'time for great footballer to retire is perfect? on top of the world' is the subsidiary indication.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'time' could be 'one' (I've seen this before) and 'one' is present in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
