Man from Armagh regularly holding record (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ralph

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

'armagh regularly holding record' is the wordplay.
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'holding' indicates putting letters inside.
'record' becomes 'lp' (LP is an example).
The alternate letters of 'armagh' are 'rah'.
'rah' enclosing 'lp' is 'RALPH'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ralph that I've seen before include "Chap" , "N Waldo Emerson, nineteenth century US poet" , "man" , "___ Fiennes, English actor, b. 1962" , "--- Waldo Emerson, US writer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
