Scruffy eccentric on the team (4-5)
I believe the answer is:
moth-eaten
'scruffy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'eccentric on the team' is the subsidiary indication.
'eccentric' indicates anagramming the letters.
'on'+'the'+'team'='ontheteam'
'ontheteam' is an anagram of 'motheaten'.
(Other definitions for moth-eaten that I've seen before include "Old, in bad condition" , "Tatty" , "Old and worn" , "Damaged by insects" , "Showing severe signs of wear and tear" .)
