Generous support for footballer (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

full back

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

'generous support' is the wordplay.
'generous' becomes 'full'.
'support' becomes 'back' (back is a kind of support).
'full'+'back'='FULL BACK'

'for' acts as a link.

(Another definition for full back that I've seen is " footballer".)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Times.
