[1] George had been a supporter of his hometown club Barnet since a young age, and joined them for the first time in the late 1960s, emulating his elder brother Mike who had played for them previously.
He took a while to find his feet at Edgar Street under manager John Charles but would soon become involved in arguably the greatest FA Cup shock of all time.
When Malcolm Macdonald put Newcastle 1–0 up late in the game, George was brought on for the injured Roger Griffiths and played a key part in Hereford's triumph.
Controlling a pass from Dudley Tyler on the edge of the area, he turned and shot into the bottom left hand corner of the goal, sparking a pitch invasion.
[3] George started the Fourth Round match against West Ham United, which went to a replay at Upton Park after a 0–0 draw at Hereford.
[5] George wrote a weekly non-league column for the Daily Telegraph and co-presented 'Matchday with Motty' for BBC Radio Five Live with the legendary football commentator John Motson.
