"____ Palooka" (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

joe

'palooka' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for joe that I've seen before include "- Bloggs; - Public" , "--- Gargery (Great Expectations)" , "Short for Joseph" , "-- Bloggs, ordinary man" , "-- Orton, playwright" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
