Trevor William Ross (born 16 January 1957) is a former professional
Career
Ross started his career at
the club's academy at 12. In 1972, he became an apprentice at the club, signing professionally just two years later. He then made his first-team debut as a substitute against Liverpool on 1 February 1975.[6] Ross was a regular in the latter half of the 1975–76 and throughout the 1976–77 seasons. He was ousted from the side by David Price at the start of the 1977–78 season, and in November 1977 moved to Everton for £170,000.[7][8] He played 67 games in all for Arsenal, scoring 9 goals.[7]
Ross made his Everton debut on 5 November 1977 in a 1–0 defeat of
Football League with three successful seasons at Bury
, including a promotion to Division 3.
He then moved into
non-league football, first a short spell with Hyde United[10] before Tommy Docherty signed him up at Altrincham.[11] He managed club Ashton United for the 1989–90 season until he was dismissed only three months into the next season.[12]
Personal life
After leaving football, Ross worked as an HGV driver. In 2007, he worked as a transport supervisor and coached youngsters at Oldham Sports Centre in his spare time.[13]
Ross's father, Willie, was a footballer who played for Arbroath and Bradford City in the 1940s and 1950s. Ross could claim Scottish ancestry through his father and was capped once by Scotland at under-21 level, despite having played for his native England at youth level.[11][13]
