Mike is suitable and eccentric (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

misfit

'eccentric' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'mike is suitable' is the wordplay.
'mike' becomes 'M' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'suitable' becomes 'fit' (similar in meaning).
'm'+'is'+'fit'='MISFIT'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for misfit that I've seen before include "One set apart from others" , "One not suited to environment, odd man out" , "One who is out of place" , "awkward one?" , "Social outcast" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
