George Henry Robinson (1878 – March 1945) was an English professional footballer who played as a half back for Nottingham Forest and Bradford City.

Career

Born in Basford, Robinson began his professional career with Nottingham Forest,[1] having previously played for Notts Jardines and Newark.[2]

He signed for Bradford City in June 1903.[2] He played in City's first ever Football League game, against Grimsby.[2] He was City's captain as they won the 1907–08 Second Division title,[2] and he also played as they won the FA Cup in 1911,[2][3] serving as vice-captain.[4]

He received two benefit matches, in 1909 (alongside Jimmy Millar) and in 1914.[2] During World War One he made one wartime appearance.[2] When he retired from playing in 1915 he had made a then club record 343 league appearances for City.[2] During his career he had also made a then-record 69 consecutive league appearances; that record was broken by Bruce Stowell in 1972.[2] After the War he became a trainer at City, until June 1922.[2]

He died in March 1945, aged 67.[2]
