He scored 223 goals in 599 appearances in the Football League and the North American Soccer League.
Cross was born in Heywood, Lancashire.
Cross played for Third Division club Rochdale, where he scored against top-flight Coventry City in a third-round FA Cup game in 1971.
He moved to Norwich City, with whom he won the Second Division championship in 1972.
He joined Coventry City for £150,000, then a club record.
In 1975–76, Cross scored hat-tricks on the opening and closing days the season, the only Coventry City player to do so in a league campaign.
He joined West Bromwich Albion for £150,000 in November 1976, and made his Albion debut against Manchester City.
West Ham United also broke their club record for Cross when they paid for £180,000 for his services on 9 December 1977.
He made his debut a week later, against West Brom.
Cross scored 9 goals in 21 league games during his initial season at the club, but this wasn’t enough to prevent relegation to the Second Division.
His first full season brought 18 goals, with 12 the following season.
Cross was asked to play as the lone striker during the 1980 FA Cup Final win against Arsenal.
He scored 22 goals with the side that won the Second Division in 1980–81, winning the division’s Golden Boot and ensuring the club’s promotion back to the First Division.
On 1 October 1980, Cross scored West Ham United’s first, and to date only, hat-trick in European competition in a 5–1 win against Castilla.
Following promotion, Cross again became the club’s top scorer for the 1981–82 season, with 16 goals.
He scored four goals in a game on two occasions, against Grimsby Town on 11 April 1981, and against Tottenham Hotspur on 2 September 1981.
Cross played his last game for the east London club on 15 May 1982, scoring against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.
He went on to play for Manchester City and Oldham Athletic, and spent the summers of 1983 and 1984 with Vancouver Whitecaps (where he totalled 46 appearances and 29 goals), before rejoining West Brom for the 1984–85 season.
He signed for Bolton Wanderers in 1985–86, but a fractured skull helped to end his professional career in England and he ended the season with a loan spell at Bury.
He then had a brief spell with Aris Limassol of Cyprus, and finished his career at Blackpool.
After retirement, Cross spent nine years in the insurance industry, and scouted for Watford.
He joined the coaching staff at Oldham Athletic in 1997.
He coached the reserves and youth-team before moving up to assistant manager to Iain Dowie in 2002.
In February 2003, he was released from his contract with the club in serious financial difficulties.
