Renown for Football Association and yours truly (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fame

'renown' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'football association and yours truly' is the wordplay.
'football association' becomes 'FA' (abbreviation).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'yours truly' becomes 'me' (the person who set this crossword).
'fa'+'me'='FAME'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for fame that I've seen before include "Note" , "Notoriety or celebrity" , "Celebrity; stage musical" , "Prominence" , "14 [BOWIE] recorded this" .)
