It is with great sadness that Everton Football Club has learned of the passing of Reverend Harry Ross.
Reverend Ross died peacefully on Saturday, aged 78, following a long illness.
He was well known to Evertonians, having served as the official Club Chaplain for 25 years. He had also been the vicar at St Luke The Evangelist, adjacent to Goodison Park, from 1977 until his retirement in 2010.
Prior to joining the church, Reverend Ross had been a mathematics teacher at St George of England High School in Bootle and was also a lay reader.
The decision to move to St Luke’s was an easy one for him – being a lifelong Evertonian.
