Fellow to retry plan (5)
I believe the answer is:
terry
'fellow' is the definition.
(Terry is a man's name)
'retry plan' is the wordplay.
'plan' is an anagram indicator (plan can mean organise).
'retry' with letters rearranged gives 'TERRY'.
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for terry that I've seen before include "Loop of pile fabric; England footballer" , "Cotton pile fabric used for towels and bath robes" , "Famous actress" , "(Rhyming) man's name" , "Towelling fabric" .)
