Crossword Genius

Jeremy the player for certain clubs (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

irons

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'jeremy the player' is the first definition.
(actor or 'player' Jeremy Irons)

'certain clubs' is the second definition.
(iron is a kind of golf club)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for irons that I've seen before include "Smooths clothes" , "Golf clubs with metal heads" , "Metal shackles and golf clubs" , "cuffs" , "in which one is restrained" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Telegraph.
