He then had a spell with Hong Kong side Bulova before he returned to England for short stints with AFC Bournemouth and Derby County.

[1] Born in Islington, London, George attended the local Grafton, Holloway Road and Hugh Myddleton Schools.

He turned professional in 1968 and made his first-team debut on 9 August 1969 against Everton, on the first day of the 1969–70 season; Arsenal lost the match 1–0.

After being out for five months he returned to play a significant part in Arsenal's run-in to the 1970–71 Division One title, scoring five times in 17 appearances in the League.

However, the highlight of his season came in the FA Cup; he scored in the fourth, fifth and sixth rounds as well as proving the difference in the final against Liverpool.

[9] He spent three and a half years at Derby, where he memorably scored a hat-trick against Real Madrid in a European Cup first leg of October 1975.

[12][13] In June and July 1977 He also had a loan spell at St George Budapest in Australia where he played six matches in the first edition of the National Soccer League.

One of these included the final of the 1979 UEFA Super Cup against FC Barcelona, where he scored the only goal in the home leg as Forest won 2–1 on aggregate.

[16] George could not agree an extension to his loan at Forest and later returned to Southampton, playing his last league game for them on 14 March 1981 against Stoke City.

[18] A year later, in 1982, he returned to England to have a short time at AFC Bournemouth and subsequently rejoined Derby County for a second spell.

[23] Whilst with Derby, he also won a solitary cap at senior level for England, playing for 60 minutes against the Republic of Ireland on 8 September 1976, out of position on the left wing, but fell out with coach Don Revie after being substituted and he was never picked again.
