On at the moment, hooligan's getting famous (8)

I believe the answer is:

renowned

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'famous' is the definition.
(I know that famous can be written as renowned)

'on at the moment hooligan's' is the wordplay.
'on' becomes 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to').
'at the moment' becomes 'now' (at the present moment).
'hooligan's' becomes 'ned' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
're'+'now'+'ned'='RENOWNED'

'getting' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for renowned that I've seen before include "Widely known/respected" , "Widely known and esteemed" , "Famous, celebrated" , "Prominent" , "Widely respected" .)
