Some recalled you as extremely hairy man (4)
I believe the answer is:
esau
'hairy man' is the definition.
(hairy son of Isaac in the Bible)
'some recalled you as extremely' is the wordplay.
'recalled' says the letters should be written backwards (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'some' indicates a hidden word (some parts of the word are used).
'uase' is hidden in the letters of 'you as extremely'.
'uase' written backwards gives 'ESAU'.
(Other definitions for esau that I've seen before include "Jacob's twin (Bible)" , "Old Testament character sounds as if he had a vision" , "Hairy brother to Jacob in Bible" , "Elder of the twin sons of Isaac and Rebecca" , "Cheated brother" .)
