Born in Bratislava and proficient in five languages, the Sun Media legend was of an era when athletes and the people who wrote about them had character and colour. After defecting from Czechoslovakia in 1949, Gross started at the Toronto Telegraph - and eventually to the Toronto Sun - where he covered tennis, the Olympic games, hockey, soccer, figure skating...the list is endless.
George Gross was 85.
