View insane sport round gym clubs (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prospect

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

'view' is the definition.
(I know that view can be written as prospect)

'insane sport round gym clubs' is the wordplay.
'insane sport' becomes 'prost' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'round' is an insertion indicator.
'gym' becomes 'pe' (short for Physical Education).
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used in card games such as bridge).
'pe'+'c'='pec'
'prost' going around 'pec' is 'PROSPECT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for prospect that I've seen before include "Gray distantly associated with Eton College" , "Survey the outlook" , "View - chances" , "Possibility; wide view" , "Someone who might buy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
