Bio Extra

This half-back spent two seasons at Inchview before switching to Glasgow Thistle in May, 1891. “What's Partick Thistle's loss is East End Thistle's gain” opined the Scottish Referee. George briefly returned to Partick Thistle towards the end of the following season, before signing for Clyde in the springtime of 1892.
