Footballer, eg (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sportsman

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">footballer eg</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that association football player is a type of sportsman)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for sportsman that I've seen before include "He engages in physical games" , "player" , "Chap aiming for game" , "Game fellow" , "Rower perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
