30 July 1888 - Nick Ross joins Everton from Preston. First spotted whilst playing for Hearts he joined Preston in July 1883 and became captain, although he was the subject of intense debate as it became obvious he was a professional at a time when professionalism was illegal in football. He spent only one season at Everton (missing out on Preston's double winning season!) but returned to Deepdale after just 19 games for Everton. He was only 31 when he died of consumption. See Nick Ross memorabilia.
