Comments on the clue
1.Oh dear a football reference. Without the explanation of Bent, this would make no sense – too obscure a person to expect solvers to know?
2.I'd have preferred 'game regularly'
3.Few footballers are famous enough to work well in a crossword clue.
4.'Regular game' seems a bit of a clumsy way to indicate alternate letters to me. 'Game, regularly' might work better
