Bizarre legend about Philby, for one (6,5)
I believe the answer is:
double agent
'philby for one' is the definition.
(Kim Philby is an example)
'bizarre legend about' is the wordplay.
'bizarre' indicates an anagram.
'legend'+'about'='legendabout'
'legendabout' is an anagram of 'DOUBLE AGENT'.
(Other definitions for double agent that I've seen before include "Treacherous spy" , "AA man?" .)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
