Jimmy Ross

Jimmy Ross

Jimmy Ross (28 March 1866 – 12 June 1902) was a footballer who played for Liverpool Football Club in the late 19th century.

Life and playing career

Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Ross played for Edinburgh St Bernard and Preston, where he had a very successful time, before being signed by Liverpool manager John McKenna for the princely sum of £75 in 1894. He made his debut in a Football League Division One match on 13 September 1894 and went on to score 12 times in Liverpool's relegation season. A prolific goalscorer in his time at Liverpool, Jimmy found the Second Division defences more to his liking managing to hit the net 23 times in 25 outings, spearheading the Reds charge back to the top tier.

The following season didn't turn out quite how Ross would have wanted, although Liverpool managed to establish themselves in the First division, finishing 5th; he only scored twice in his 21 matches.

After his short but eventful spell at Anfield Ross was transferred out signing for Burnley in March 1897. He also went on to represent Manchester City before he retired.

His older brother, Nick, was also a footballer.
