Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox football biography George Ferguson Lennon (24 May 1889 – 1984) was a Scottish footballer who played in the Football League for Bristol Rovers, Luton Town and Stoke.[1]
Career
Lennon was born in Kilwinning and began his football career with local junior side Kilwinning Rangers. He then played in the Scottish Football League for Third Lanark,[2] Forfar Athletic, Abercorn, St Mirren and Ayr United.
He joined Luton Town in 1920,[1] and spent three seasons with the "Hatters" making 115 League and FA Cup appearances[3] which earned him a move to Stoke in March 1923.[1] He was never fully given a chance as the manager who brought him to the club Arthur Shallcross was sacked in April 1923 and his replacement Jock Rutherford left the club after just four weeks.[1] Tom Mather was appointed Stoke manager in October 1924 and gave Lennon his chance to impress at full back in a match away at Crystal Palace,[1] but he was "ran ragged" by Palace's Welsh international Frank Hoddinott who got a hat-trick as Stoke lost 5–1.[1] Lennon was then told he should leave the club.[1]
He spent a season with Weymouth before playing four matches for Bristol Rovers in 1925–26. According to available statistics, he never scored a goal in official matches during his 15-year career.[2]
