George Harford

George Harford

Born in Abbey Wood in 1910, George was playing in goal for Bexley when he was signed by Millwall and helped them to win the championship of Division Three (South) in his first full season of 1927-28.

Signing for Luton in 1929 he was a capable goalkeeper but sometimes too brave for his own good as he was seriously injured in each of his seasons at Kenilworth Road only to bounce back and assume his role as first choice.

Eventually leaving in 1935 he went to Carlisle for a season before finishing his playing career at Rhyl.

An accomplished musician on the sousaphone he appeared with several professional orchestras.
