Uproar as chap follows me (5)
I believe the answer is:
melee
'uproar' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'chap follows me' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'lee' (**).
'follows' says to put letters next to each other.
'lee' after 'me' is 'MELEE'.
'as' is the link.
(Other definitions for melee that I've seen before include "confused group" , "Scrap" , "Confused fight or scuffle" , "Fracas" , "Confused conflict, affray" .)
