George Green (footballer, born 1891)

George Green (1891 – 9 November 1958)[1] was a professional footballer who played at full-back for Southampton in the period prior to the First World War.

[2] Following Smith's retirement in the summer of 1914, Green became the established right-back, playing in the first twelve matches of the 1914–15 season, before losing his place to Jack Small in November, although he returned to the side in March.

[3] Described as "an outstanding full-back, neat in style and quick off the mark",[1] Green was expected to go far in the game, but his career was interrupted by the outbreak of World War I, bringing the end of normal football in 1915.

The "Saints" retained his registration during the war and he returned to the club in 1918, making a few appearances in the wartime leagues.

He re-signed for Northfleet United and helped them win the Kent League title in 1919–20.
