Shot hooligan without a fuss (8)
I believe the answer is:
ballyhoo
'a fuss' is the definition.
(commotion or excitement)
'shot hooligan without' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'shot' could be 'ball' (ball is a kind of shot) and 'ball' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ballyhoo that I've seen before include "Hubbub" , "Fuss; noisy publicity" , "Brouhaha" , "Big to-do or advertising campaign" , "Noisy confused situation" .)
