Gordon John Ross (1917 – 27 April 1985) was an English sports journalist and author, and a vice-president of Lancashire CCC.
[2] Ross was an associate editor of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack (under Norman Preston) between 1978 and 1980, for whom he reviewed books (1979 and 1980) and wrote articles.
His brochures covered football of both codes (he edited the Playfair Rugby Annual for many years) and his books included one on the University Boat Race, as well as a short history of cricket and other histories of Surrey CCC, such as The Surrey Story, West Indian cricket and the Gillette Cup.
[2] As a consultant to Gillette and subsequently NatWest, Ross was directly involved with one-day county cricket from its inception in 1963.
Ross was a well-known and popular figure around English cricket grounds, always dapper and seldom seen without a red carnation in his buttonhole.
