David Cross TTM

rcsmg1 — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 19:06:22 GMT

I wrote to much travelled striker David Cross via Blackburn where he is now a scout.David also sent back a nice letter saying his colleagues had a good laugh at the old photos!

David played for Rochdale, Norwich City and Coventry City. He is remembered as being the only Coventry City player to ever score hatricks on the opening and closing days of a campaign. He joined West Bromwich Albion for £150,000 in November 1976 making his Albion debut against Manchester City. Cross then moved on to West Ham United for £180,000 on 9 December 1977 and made his debut a week later, against West Brom.He was a member of the West Ham team in their 1980 FA Cup Final win against Arsenal. He scored 22 goals with the side that won Division Two in 1980–81, ensuring the club's promotion back to Division One. Cross was awarded the 1980–81 golden boot after scoring 34 goals.He went on to play for Manchester City, Oldham Athletic and spent the summers of 1983 and 1984 with Vancouver Whitecaps (46 appearances 29 goals) before rejoining West Brom for the 1984–85 season. He signed for Bolton Wanderers in 1985–86, and ended his playing career in England on loan to Bury at the end of the campaign. He then had a brief spell with AEL Limassol of Cyprus before retiring
