Life and career

George Featherstone was born on 22 June 1884 in Middlesbrough.[2] He played football for Darlington St Hilda's, where he acquired a reputation as a scorer of spectacular goals,[3][4] and for Northern League club Darlington.[2] By 1905, he was on the books of Stockton. He helped them win the 1906–07 Northern League title as well as reach the 1907 FA Amateur Cup Final,[5] in which they lost 2–1 to Clapton at Stamford Bridge after what was described as "a hard fought and spirited display".[6] Stockton's goal came from the rebound after Featherstone headed against the crossbar.[5]

Featherstone signed for Sheffield United on 25 February 1908; as part of the deal, it was agreed that he could leave on a free transfer at the end of the season if he wished.[7] He made his debut in the following Saturday's First Division fixture, taking the place of Arthur Brown in the forward line, and scored the equaliser in a 2–2 draw at home to Woolwich Arsenal.[8][9] He did not take up his option to leave, and by the end of the 1908–09 season had taken his totals to 11 goals from 29 league matches.[1]

He then joined Brighton & Hove Albion on a free transfer. Despite a season disrupted by injury and a serious illness,[10][11] he was a regular in the team when available, and scored 8 goals from 21 appearances as the team won the 1909–10 Southern League title.
