_a_o_a_e.

Destruction done by a man wearing apron, say. (8)

I'm pretty sure it is "sabotage", but for the life of me, I can't find the man or the apron.

Yes, it's sabotage, you get "a Bo" (name of a man) into "stage" (apron) to get sabotage

Thanks. As usual, obvious, looking backwards.

I'd found "sage" around "bota", ( google "bota apron" and you find one ), so i was clutching at straws.

As a afterthought, any ideas why "say" would be in the clue.

It sent me the wrong way. Do you think a man is "a beau"?

Even if it is, shouldn't the "say" refer to either the second part of the clue or the whole clue?
