Occasionally fond of an oddball (2,3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on and off

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

'fond of an oddball' is the wordplay.
'oddball' indicates an anagram.
'fond'+'of'+'an'='fondofan'
'fondofan' with letters rearranged gives 'ON-AND-OFF'.

(Other definitions for on and off that I've seen before include "Occasionally" , "From time to time, not continuously" , "spasmodic" , "periodically" , "the two sides at Old Trafford?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
