Man, doing U-turn, is back in band (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sid

'man' is the definition.
(man's name)

'doing u-turn is back in band' is the wordplay.
'doing u-turn' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'back in' suggests the final letters (the 'back' of the word).
The last letter of 'band' is 'd'.
'is' backwards is 'si'.
'si'+'d'='SID'

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
