Vigorous follower of Oldham? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

athletic

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

This clue might be a double definition.

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

'oldham?' is the second definition.
(I know that oldham can be written as Athletic)

'follower of' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to one of the definitions.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for athletic that I've seen before include "Powerful" , "Good at running and jumping" , "Fit and sporty" , "Muscular" , "Lithe act (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
