Good American man (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gus

'man' is the definition.

'good american' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'american' becomes 'US' (United States).
'g'+'us'='GUS'

(Other definitions for gus that I've seen before include "Augustus (dim.)" , "T. S. Eliot's theatre cat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
