Well unless you are over 100 and as sharp as a tin tac does anyone have any passed on memories of what our greatest ever goalscorer was like as a player? Apart from score a ton of goals for us.
I know we speak of Stan & Rodney with the highest regards but they don't have the goalscoring record like George has.
I can’t tell you what George was like as a player but my grandad was great friends with Uncle George and Auntie Elsie. I’m assuming Elsie is Elsie Bowman as I’ve read that George married John Bowman’s daughter. I had no idea that ‘Uncle George’ had been a footballer until my dad told me a few years ago. Sadly my grandad and George had passed away by then so I was never able to ask more. We used to go round to George and Elsie for tea on a Sunday. I was only a little girl but remember that tea was always served in proper china cups and saucers. Auntie Elsie was a lovely and kind lady and always wore her hair in a chignon. Absolutely nothing to do with football but a nice memory to have 😊
