Self-interested Pickles accepting money after game? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

egocentric

'self-interested' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'pickles accepting money after game?' is the wordplay.
'pickles' becomes 'Eric' (politician Eric Pickles).
'accepting' indicates putting letters inside.
'money' becomes 'cent' (eg denomination of dollars).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'game?' becomes 'go' (go game is a kind of game).
'cent' after 'go' is 'gocent'.
'eric' enclosing 'gocent' is 'EGOCENTRIC'.

(Other definitions for egocentric that I've seen before include "Self-seeking" , "Self-interested" , "Self-obsessed" , "Selfish" , "Self-centred person with little regard for others" .)
