___ the Red (4)
I believe the answer is:
eric
'the red' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for eric that I've seen before include "- the Red, discoverer of Greenland" , "Mr Clapton" , "..... the Red was Norwegian 10th Century exployer" , "---- Cantona, Manchester Utd favourite of the 1990s" , "-- Idle; -- Morecambe" .)
