Base supporting statue from Leeds Pat repaired (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pedestal

'base supporting statue' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'leeds pat repaired' is the wordplay.
'repaired' indicates anagramming the letters.
'leeds'+'pat'='leedspat'
'leedspat' anagrammed gives 'PEDESTAL'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pedestal that I've seen before include "Base on which something is mounted" , "Support for bust" , "Place for hero" , "Statue's base" , "Column support, on which one is worshipped" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
