Amateur player from incredibly rich nation (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

corinthian

'amateur player' is the definition.
(Corinthian FC was an amateur football club)

'incredibly rich nation' is the wordplay.
'incredibly' indicates an anagram.
'rich'+'nation'='richnation'
'richnation' with letters rearranged gives 'CORINTHIAN'.

'from' is the link.

(Another definition for corinthian that I've seen is " Recipient of Paul's letter".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
