Match, perhaps, for football player (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

striker

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'for football player' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'perhaps' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for striker that I've seen before include "Batsman facing bowler" , "Football player" , "A forward on a soccer team" , "Goalscorer" , "he's still batting" .)
