For a Spaniard, the regular team (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eleven

'team' is the definition.
(I know that eleven is a type of team)

'for a spaniard the regular' is the wordplay.
'for a spaniard the' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'regular' becomes 'even' (similar in meaning).
'el'+'even'='ELEVEN'

(Other definitions for eleven that I've seen before include "Number on a side (6)" , "Late" , "Number in a cricket team" , "Enough for a team" , "Age to start secondary education" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
