Rush impressed by Aldridge's finish (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stampede

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

'impressed by aldridge's finish' is the wordplay.
'impressed' becomes 'stamped' (stamping is a kind of impressing).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'finish' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'aldridge' is 'e'.
'stamped'+'e'='STAMPEDE'

(Other definitions for stampede that I've seen before include "Uncontrolled rush" , "Run in panic" , "Panicked rush (of cattle)" , "Wild headlong rush" , "uncontrolled flight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
