George West

George West (21 October 1889 – 1976) was an English professional footballer. During his career, he made over 100 appearances in the Southern League and the Football League during spells with Cardiff City and Stockport County.

Career Born in Wardley, West was playing for Wallsend when he was spotted by Cardiff City manager Fred Stewart who was in the process of building a side following the club's decision to become fully professional three years earlier. Signed as a replacement for John Burton, West adapted quickly to the Southern Football League, finishing as the club's top scorer for two consecutive seasons between 1913 and 1915. His spell with the club was interrupted due to the outbreak of World War I but he returned to Ninian Park following the return of league football in 1919, scoring both goals in a 2–1 victory over Wrexham during the 1920 Welsh Cup final, and remained with the club following their move into the Football League in 1920.
