George Thomson McCallum (24 August 1935 – 18 March 2022)[1] was a Scottish footballer who played for Third Lanark as a centre half.

In his short career, which only began at senior level after he undertook his National Service,[1] he showed sufficient promise to be selected for a trial match between a Scottish Football League XI team and a Scottish Football Association team in March 1959,[2] and in October of that year played in the 1959 Scottish League Cup Final, a 2–1 defeat for Thirds against Heart of Midlothian, in which he acknowledged culpability for the winning goal.[1][3] Four days later, in a Scottish Football League fixture between the same teams rearranged to accommodate the cup final,[4] he suffered a knee injury which halted his progress and ultimately forced him to quit the game by 1962.[1][5]

He later worked manufacturing thermal insulation,[1] and attended numerous events remembering Third Lanark (the club, which had finished 3rd in the 1960–61 Scottish Division One table, went defunct in 1967).[6][7]
