George Mutch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Mutch (November 21, 1912 in Aberdeen - March 30, 2001) was an Scottish football player. He played as an inside forward. Mutch started his Manchester United career in 1934. He would play for United for four years, scoring 49 goals. After leaving, he went to Preston North End, where he helped the club win the 1938 FA Cup Final. In the last minute of extra time of the match, which was shown on television for the first time, Mutch was fouled. He scored the resulting penalty kick, which rebounded off the underside of the bar, to win the match for Preston North End.[1]

He earned one cap for the Scotland national football team.
