Crusoe's companion (3,6)

I believe the answer is:

man friday

(Other definitions for man friday that I've seen before include "Assistant to Robinson Crusoe" , "Male factotum" , "loyal helper ..." , "Faithful servant" , "Robinson Crusoe's assistant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and the Sydney Morning Herald.
