This clue could be a double definition.

'soccer club's' is the first definition.
'Ajax' can be an answer for 'club's' (AFC Ajax are a Dutch football club). I am unsure of the 'soccer' bit.

'greek hero' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ajax that I've seen before include "Hero of Greek mythology" , "Mythical Greek hero, who fought against Troy" , "Greek hero of the Trojan War - Dutch soccer team" , "Mythical Greek hero - Amsterdam football club" , "Old war hero" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
