Part of the Mitcham Wanderers team that won Division Three of the Wimbledon & District League in 1912/13, George migrated to Mill Green Rovers the following season and helped them to second place in the Division One and the Wimbledon & District Charity Cup. When War intervened he joined the 5th East Surrey Territorial Battalion and was posted to India. He moved to Mesopotamia with the 5th Battalion Queen's (Royal West Surrey) Regiment and continued to play at both Regimental and Divisional level. He returned to the East Surreys before demobilisation, after which he rejoined Mitcham Wanderers as they won the Thornton Heath & District League the Croydon Charity Cup and the Surrey Junior Cup, twice playing for Crystal Palace reserves. Three years at Woking followed, during which he won his Surrey cap and two badges and played for the Isthmian League against the Southern Amateur League (at Plough Lane in 1921) and for an F.A. XI against the Royal Navy at Portsmouth.

Joining Wimbledon at the start of the 1923/24 season, he was immediately selected for the first XI and his dexterity between the sticks and uncanny anticipation meant he played the majority of the games that season. He was described as having a punch like a horse's kick and the ability to throw the ball as far a some players could kick it.

Also a useful boxer and cricketer, George played for Mitcham C.C. and represented the Surrey Club and Ground.

Later played for Tooting Town (1925/26,1927/28).
