Sort lover's rib out for team (7,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bristol rovers

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'team' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'sort lover's rib out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'sort'+'lovers'+'rib'='sortloversrib'
'sortloversrib' anagrammed gives 'BRISTOL ROVERS'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for bristol rovers that I've seen is " Group kicking".)
