Alec Ross Print Page Print this page

The plaque commemorates rugby player Alec Ross (1905 -1996).

Australian rugby has never had a safer fullback, which was why he became known as 'Ross of Gibraltar'. Ross excelled in all the required skills - handling, kicking and tackling, and his play was all but error free. He climaxed a 20 Test career that began in 1925 by Captaining Australia to a Bledisloe Cup victory in 1934.
