Stretcher is a bricklaying term and a stretcher bearer carries off wounded players.

Think I have misread the clue as Brick layer.

Maybe someone can explain it better for you.

I think it is simply a very poor clue not really up to the usual daily mail standards probably the crossword editor missed that one
