George Robert Adams (born September 28, 1947 in Shoreditch ) is a former English football player .
Career
Adams moved up to the 1965/66 season in the professional area of Chelsea , but remained there limited to assignments in the reserve area. In July 1966 he was piloted by coach Gordon Clark in the Football League Third Division at Peterborough United . There the midfielder made his competitive debut in the League Cup against Northampton Town (final score 0: 2) in September 1966 , but subsequently he did not get beyond the role as a supplementary player and only played sporadically. A well-known anecdote at Peterborough reports Adams 'question to coach Clark why he had to play in the reserve team, to which the latter replied dryly, "because there would be no A' team (common name for a third team)". After Clark had resigned in the early stages of the 1967/68 season, Adams received little time even under his successor Norman Rigby . The 1967/68 season was sportingly meaningless anyway, since Peterborough had been sentenced to relegation to the Fourth Division in November 1967 for illegal payments to players .
Adams received no new contract after a total of 19 competitive games in two seasons and continued his career in the Southern Football League , in which he played for Brentwood Town , Corby Town , Ramsgate Athletic , Woodford Town and Bexley United in the following years .
