Nicholas Jeremy Rowland (Nicky) Cross (born 7 February 1961) is a former English footballer.

Playing career

Cross played for West Bromwich Albion before signing for Walsall where he was the clubs 1985–86 top scorer with 21 goals. He later signed for Leicester City before joining Port Vale for a £125,000 fee in June 1989. He went straight into the first team and became a regular, but damaged his knee ligaments in December 1990 and took fourteen months to recover. Despite this major setback upon his return he earned his first team spot back in an attempt to justify the vast fee paid by the club, he was a regular during the 1992–93 promotion push and 1993–94 Runners-up season in the Football League Second Division. At age 33 he was given a free transfer to Hereford United in May 1994.^[1]
