The answer is GURU - a teacher. It is posh (U)with a hairpiece (RUG) in lift (i.e. backwards) gives GURU

The city attacker is JOSHUA (battle of Jericho and all that). Banter is JOSH with united U (as in Man U) and A gives JOSHUA

Thanks very much to Dick I, Torquemada and especially to Brackendale for your excellent explanations, answer GURU is now obvious.
