Top scorer (on and off the pitch) (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

best

I believe this is a double definition.

'top' is the first definition.
(associated in meaning)

'scorer on and off the pitch' is the second definition.
(George Best footballer and William Best composer)

(Other definitions for best that I've seen before include "To the highest standard" , "Most excellent; outwit" , "Most advantageous" , "Of the highest quality" , "Optimum" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
