Entering straight road, hit a coach in London (5,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

frank lampard

'coach in london' is the definition.
(coach of Chelsea football club)

'entering straight road hit a' is the wordplay.
'entering' is an insertion indicator.
'straight' becomes 'frank' (both can mean honest and direct).
'road' becomes 'rd' (abbreviation).
'hit' becomes 'lamp' (lamp can mean to hit someone).
'frank'+'rd'='frankrd'
'lamp'+'a'='lampa'
'frankrd' enclosing 'lampa' is 'FRANK LAMPARD'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
