George Albinson (born February 14, 1897 in Prestwich , † April 1975 in Rochdale ) was an English football player.

Career

Albinson was discovered at the end of the First World War in local football by Manchester United and came towards the end of the war season 1918/19 twice as a half-striker for the club, where he also scored one goal. After the resumption of regular league operations for the 1919/20 season, he was unable to assert himself in the first team and did not get beyond missions for the reserve team in the Central League . His only competitive game for Manchester United he had as a left wing runner on January 12, 1921 in a 1: 2 defeat in the first round replay of the FA Cup against Liverpool . In May 1921 Albinson moved to local rivals Manchester City , where he again did not get beyond a reservist existence. Behind the Irish international Mickey Hamill , he made three first division appearances during the 1921/22 season . In May 1922 he joined the third division club Accrington Stanley , a little north of Manchester, but in turn he did not come to any league use.

Even after a renewed change in the summer of 1923 to third division rivals Crewe Alexandra , Albinson continued to play often only in the reserve area and won a championship medal in the Cheshire County League in 1924 with the reserve team from Crewe . For the professional team, the outside runner, who was certified by the press as " brilliant footwork " and a " wonderful amount of extremely useful work with minimal energy expenditure ", meanwhile made a total of 24 league appearances between 1923 and 1925, in which he scored a goal. Albinson then continued his career in non-league football at Witton Albion and later played in Manchester for an amateur club called the Daily Herald .
