George Scott (footballer, born 1885)
George Scott (born 29 September 1885 in Sunderland, died 16 August 1916 in Saint-Quentin, Aisne, France) was an English footballer.
Scott started his football career with Sunderland District Amateur League sides Braeside and Sunderland West End, before joining Clapton Orient in July 1908. He featured regularly throughout the next seven seasons, playing in various positions and scoring an average of five goals per season in all competitions. His most valuable goals included the only goal of the game in Orient's victory over Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on 9 April 1909.〔Neilson Kaufman & Alan Ravenhill, "Leyton Orient: The Complete Record", Breedon Books, 2006, pp.249.〕 In 1911, Scott was selected for a London XI to face a Paris XI in France.〔Neilson Kaufman, "The Men Who Made Leyton Orient Football Club", Tempus, 2002, pp.326.〕
At the outbreak of World War I professional football was suspended, and Scott joined the 17th Middlesex Regiment, the "Footballers' Battalion", along with many other Orient players and staff. During the Battle of the Somme, Scott was wounded and taken prisoner, and died at a German military hospital on 16 August 1916.〔Stephen Jenkins, "They Took the Lead", DDP, 2005, pp.59.〕 Scott was one of three Orient players killed in the war, along with William Jonas and Richard McFadden. He is buried at St. Souplet British Cemetery,〔() CWGC Casualty record.〕 a few miles south of Le Cateau.〔
