Biography

George was signed in August 1952 after impressing in our preseason trials, the former Cowdenbeath goalkeeper just returning to full fitness after 10 months out the game due to a slipped disc. He was our regular ‘keeper for the next two and a half seasons, missing just eight games, before the signing of Bobby Williamson in early January 1955 saw him lose his place and he was allowed to leave on a free transfer at the end of the 1954-55 season.

Debut

August 9th, 1952
