Georges Santos (born 15 August 1970) is a former professional footballer and club scout for English Premier League side West Ham United.

Santos turned professional with Toulon, before moving to England to join Tranmere Rovers in 1998 who were managed by former Liverpool striker John Aldridge.

After refusing to sign a new contract he was dropped by Aldridge, and as a result missed the 2000 Football League Cup Final,[2] and left the club shortly afterwards.

With goalkeeper Simon Tracey already off the field, the match had its climax in the 65th minute, when Santos, whom United had just brought on seconds earlier, was sent off for a high two-footed lunging tackle on Andy Johnson; Johnson had previously fractured Santos' cheekbone and seriously damaged his eye socket with a swinging elbow while playing for Nottingham Forest, and this was in fact their first encounter since the incident.

[4] He notably scored his only goal for Grimsby in a 2–0 victory over local rivals and fellow relegation strugglers Sheffield Wednesday, towering above his marker to power home a header from the centre of the penalty area following a Stuart Campbell corner.

He was usually paired with Jamaican youngster Simon Ford or player/manager Paul Groves who incidentally this season had adopted playing at centre half in opposed to his regular central midfield sitting.

[6] He made his debut on 8 August 2003 in the club's 1–1 league draw with Reading He stayed at Portman Road for the entire 2003–04 season, scoring once against Cardiff City,[7] and would go on to make a total of 36 appearances in all competitions.

Santos joined Brighton & Hove Albion in August 2006,[9] turning down an offer to return to former club Grimsby, something he later admitted in an interview as the biggest mistake in his career.
