Sounds like the concentric slave cylinder has gone. The internal seals inside the cylinder can deteriorate as they age and the clutch pedal will not return. Unfortunately being concentric slave cylinder this is a complete unit with release bearing inside the gearbox meaning the gearbox has to be removed to replace. Usually find the slave cylinder fails more oftenly than the clutch master cylinder. Quite oftenly they go with a ping when they completely fail rendering the clutch inoperable. If this is the case given the nature of the work involved it is best practise to replace the clutch at the same time.
