Clue: Victory in FA Trophy? "Header's missed at the death", reported into the blower (6)
Answer: UPWIND
Explanation: Definition: reported into the blower

**WIN** ("victory") *in *(c)**UP** ("FA Trophy" with header missed) *at*** D** ("death").
 
I don't think D can be death; it can be died in encyclopaedias and dead in genealogy, but as far as I know, it is not short for "death" and almost certainly not for "the death"
