About David

David George played for Slough in the 1935/36 and 1936/37 seasons and was a member of a footballing family, two of his brothers having been professionals.

He played for Gateshead as an amateur and received offers of trials from other professional clubs, which he declined.

He came to the South a few years prior to joining Slough and was offered terms by Crystal Palace but did not accept. He joined Uxbridge, with whom he remained for two seasons before coming to Slough, for whom he played consistently well.

David starred for Slough in the Berks and Bucks Cup and the Spartan League. He took his football very keenly, and in order to keep fit remained a teetotaller and non-smoker. That he was in perfect condition was obvious by the amount of ground he covered during the course of a game.
