Crossword Genius

Huge Tom runs so awkwardly (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

monstrous

'huge' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tom runs so awkwardly' is the wordplay.
'awkwardly' is an anagram indicator.
'tom'+'runs'+'so'='tomrunsso'
'tomrunsso' with letters rearranged gives 'MONSTROUS'.

(Other definitions for monstrous that I've seen before include "Outrageously evil" , "Quite outrageous" , "Extraordinarily large" , "Outrageously wrong" , "Shockingly brutal or cruel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
