Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox football biography George Parsonage (November 1880 – 22 May 1919) was an English professional footballer, most notable for his time as a half back and player-manager in the Southern League with Brentford. He was banned from football for life by the Football Association in 1909, but later returned to the game.

Club career

Early years

A half back, Parsonage began his senior career at local First Division club Blackburn Rovers in 1900, after joining from Oswaldtwistle Rovers.[1] He failed to make a league appearance for the club before dropping into the Lancashire Combination to sign for Accrington Stanley in 1901.[2]

Brentford

Parsonage moved to London to sign for Southern League First Division club Brentford in 1903.[3] He became captain of the club in the 1904–05 season and was a "tower of strength" for five seasons, before departing Griffin Park in 1908.[3][4] He made 194 appearances and scored 15 goals for the Bees.[5]

Fulham

Parsonage returned to league football with Second Division club Fulham in 1908.[1] He made 23 appearances and scored three goals during the 1908–09 season.[2]

"The Parsonage Affair"

While a Fulham player, Parsonage was the subject of transfer interest from Second Division club Chesterfield in 1909.[3] Reportedly not keen on a move to Derbyshire,[6] Parsonage submitted a request for a £50 signing-on fee (equivalent to £Шаблон:Inflation in 2025), which was £40 higher than the Football League's maximum.[3] Chesterfield reported the request to the Football Association,[3] who banned Parsonage sine die from football.[7] A petition signed by thousands of fans failed to see the ban overturned.[4]

Later career

Parsonage returned to football with First Division club Oldham Athletic in September 1910.[2][8] He ended his career with hometown Lancashire Combination Second Division club Darwen,[1] whom he joined in March 1911.[8]

Managerial and coaching career

Parsonage had a spell as player-manager of Brentford during the 1907–08 season.[4] He later coached at Oldham Athletic.[9]

International career

Parsonage's form while at Brentford saw him called up for two England trial games.[3] He played for Amateurs versus Professionals on 16 January 1905 and for the South versus the North the following month, but was passed over in favour of Charlie Roberts.[4]
