George Ross, a great servant of Preston North End on and off the pitch for more than half a century, has passed away aged 73.

Ross was a North End legend, joining them as a 15-year-old apprentice and going on to have a long and distinguished career at Deepdale.

He played in the 1964 FA Cup final against West Ham at Wembley and was a key member of the 1970/71 Third Division title-winning side.
