President meeting footballers or Australian outlaws (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bushrangers

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

'australian outlaws' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'president meeting footballers' is the wordplay.
'president' becomes 'bush' (George H W Bush or George W Bush).
'meeting' says to put letters next to each other.
'footballers' becomes 'rangers' (I've seen this before).
'bush'+'rangers'='BUSHRANGERS'

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for bushrangers that I've seen is " thieves".)
