The aloofness of the spare player? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reserve

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'the aloofness' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'of' is a link.

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

'player?' is the third definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for reserve that I've seen before include "Modesty- store" , "8 [RESTRAINT]" , "left on the bench?" , "Husband - substitute" , "cool" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
