Still following the Spanish team? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eleven

'team' is the definition.
(I know that eleven is a type of team)

'still following the spanish' is the wordplay.
'still' becomes 'even' (synonyms).
'following' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'even' after 'el' is 'ELEVEN'.

(Other definitions for eleven that I've seen before include "Age to start secondary education" , "Football side" , "Number, on a team maybe" , "Prime number" , "'Legs' bingo number" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
