Recalled Rod Liddle's content to leave somebody (7)
I believe the answer is:
notable
'somebody' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'recalled rod liddle's content to leave' is the wordplay.
'recalled' says the letters should be written backwards (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'rod' becomes 'baton' (baton is a kind of rod).
'content to leave' means to remove the middle letters (the contents of the word are removed).
'liddle' with its centre taken out is 'le'.
'baton' in reverse letter order is 'notab'.
'notab'+'le'='NOTABLE'
(Other definitions for notable that I've seen before include "Ton bale (anag.)" , "celebrity" , "Striking" , "Unusual" , "Worth remembering" .)
