Surrounded by some of team on goalscoring (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

among

'surrounded by' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'some of team on goalscoring' is the wordplay.
'some of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'AMONG' is hidden within 'team on goalscoring'.

(Other definitions for among that I've seen before include "Go man! (anag.)" , "Amid" , "Within" , "in a group" , "Surrounded by" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
