Bury's football team a long way from Bury! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inter

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'bury's' is the first definition.
(to inter is to put into the ground)

'football team a long way from bury' is the second definition.
(Inter Milan, Italian football team)

(Other definitions for inter that I've seen before include "Bury a body - in the middle?" , "Inhume" , "set underground" , "promoting cessation" , "Lay to rest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
