Team turning on renowned inventor (6)

I believe the answer is:

edison

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'renowned inventor' is the definition.
'Edison' can be an answer for 'inventor' (Edison is an example). I am unsure of the 'renowned' bit.

'team turning on' is the wordplay.
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'turning' says the letters should be written backwards.
'side' back-to-front is 'edis'.
'edis'+'on'='EDISON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for edison that I've seen before include "No side to this american inventor" , "inventive sort" , "Prolific inventor" , "Incandescent light inventor" , "US scientist/inventor" .)
