George McLeod

George McLeod Date of Birth: Nov 30, 1932

Luton Town’s Scottish scout was sent to watch young Inverness Clachnacuddin inside-left George McLeod and his instant recommendation led to the 22 year old coming to Kenilworth Road in 1955.

After making his first team debut towards the end of the 1955/56 campaign, George was converted to a left winger where his speed and bravery soon earned him a regular spot in the Luton line-up over the next two seasons.

When the Hatters signed Billy Bingham in 1958, right winger Jim Adam moved to the other side leaving George out in the cold. A £6,000 cheque then took him to Brentford where he became a crowd favourite in over 200 League appearances for the Bees.

After a move to QPR in 1964, in exchange for Mark Lazarus, George emigrated to South Africa where he appeared for Port Elizabeth. George passed away in 2016.
