George Ramage

Brave goalkeeper George started out with the now defunct Third Lanark before being picked up by Colchester in August 1961.

George had to wait 18 months before being given the chance to replace the popular Percy Ames in the ‘U’s goal but, once established, he was given a good run in the side. Joining Leyton Orient in 1964 turned out to be mistake as a change of manager meant that his appearances were limited and a move to Luton a year later was hardly more successful as he made only seven League appearances at Kenilworth Road as understudy to Colin Tinsley.

George emigrated to Australia in 1967 and after finally hanging up his gloves became an electrician for the council in Woonona near Sydney.
