It is a sad day when the old greats "retire" but how wonderful to have given so much pleasure to so many people. Some people on this site will remember much more than me, and I look forward to their tales of George.

Loved playing darts with you, Matt and Bobby for the New Imperial Club for many years. Your humour was infectious. No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

It is a sad day when the old greats "retire" but how wonderful to have given so much pleasure to so many people. Some people on this site will remember much more than me, and I look forward to their tales of George. Great bloke. George was signed to replace Rafferty who had a bad injury early in the season and from memory, Ron was never really played up front again. Cliff Portwood was injured at the same time as well. George had a good partnership with Matt Tees, it probably helped that they understood what the other was saying! At the same time we had a good lad in the reserves called Young who filled in for injuries and in one game we played him, Tees and George Mclean, three number 9's and two of them scored! George had more skill than he was given credit for. A real character. A question - wasn't George a founder member of the Tartan Forties? “If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.” ― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty."

When he missed a chance ,you couldn't hear him, but you could lip read his exclamation  "illegitimates ". Town Legend.

A different world where you looked after your own. George was a real trier who did the simple things well, a whole hearted footballer who delighted everybody. So sadly missed. RIP George.

I guess George must have been signed to replace Ralph Hunt, as he played up to 1961 and George from 1962. I was surprised to see that Ralph died at the age of 31. Supporting Town for 65 years.

I used to meet him at my local newsagents most mornings, and it would be ' Matt and me ' 91 league appearences for us, scoring 41 goals. Pretty good by any standards. I had a copy of the Chelsea away game programme, in which George scored in April 1963. I gave it to George. R.I.P George
