Knackered crossing like this Liverpool footballer (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allison

'liverpool footballer' is the definition.
(Alisson Becker)

'knackered crossing like this' is the wordplay.
'knackered' becomes 'allin'.
'crossing' indicates putting letters inside.
'like this' becomes 'so'.
'allin' placed around 'so' is 'ALLISON'.

(Another definition for allison that I've seen is " Girl".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
