CJ Ross

That's a really nice post. Quite surreal to read given it's about my old man. I'm sure my dad would be pleased to read it and would love to catch up with all the football legend back in the day.

Anyone remember Daisy Ross? I have only seen him play once, was he any good for Elgin or Caley?

For my money, Daisy's finest hour was in the 1995 Inverness Cup Final against Ross County at Grant Street (2500 crowd in Grant Street!!!!) when he charged down the left wing again and again (only 12th Man seems to have mentioned the legendary "head down"!)creating havoc in the County defence. Iain Stewart got Man of the Match for a hat trick in a 5-2 ICT victory but many felt it was Daisy's game.

Daisy's family own a fish business in Kinlochbervie but I don't know if that extends to Rollers. The Apocryphal tale was that he used to come to and from Inverness in a fish lorry. I remember one pulled into the layby on the A9 beside the stadium one night during extra time and some wag shouted "taxi for Ross".

Daisy also made a big impact when he went to Clach and indeed - "gentleman" does not begin to describe.

 

PS - I also have to empathise with Caley100's comment on the generation gap on this forum in his reference to the original question..."does anyone remember Daisy Ross?" :biggrin:
