Noel George

Frank Noel George (26 December 1897 – 16 October 1929) was an English footballer in the 1910s and 1920s who played as a goalkeeper.

[2] Born in Lichfield, he started playing as a forward with Hednesford Town before joining the Royal Army Service Corps in World War I.

[3] George was signed by Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves) in the summer of 1919, making his senior debut in February 1921 in an FA Cup replay against Derby County.

[4] George started to miss a number of games through injury in the 1925–26 and 1926–27 seasons and by November 1927 he was in the early stages of a terminal illness,[3] and he retired in 1928.

[5] His manager at Wolves, Frank Buckley, was convinced that his death was a result of ill-fitting dentures and thus from then on he ensured any of his players with dentures made regular visits to the dentist.
