Crossword Genius

Disreputable person ordered goods (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bad egg

'disreputable person' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'ordered goods' is the wordplay.
'ordered' becomes 'bade' (past tense of 'bid' as in to order).
'goods' becomes 'gg' (an abbreviation for good written twice).
'bade'+'gg'='BAD EGG'

(Other definitions for bad egg that I've seen before include "Was the cartoon curate presented with one" , "Rotten scoundrel?" , "Worthless person" , "Unpleasant person" , "Dishonest person like addled ovoid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
