Unfortunately Len's no hero (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nelson

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

'unfortunately len's no' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' is an anagram indicator (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'lens'+'no'='lensno'
'lensno' is an anagram of 'NELSON'.

(Other definitions for nelson that I've seen before include "Lady Hamilton's seafaring lover" , "British admiral, d. 1805" , "grip" , "British naval hero" , "Nile battle hero" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
