George Sage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Sage was an English footballer who played as an outside or inside forward. He played for Old Castle Swifts F.C. until their demise in 1895. A few months later his contract was picked up by Thames Ironworks F.C., the club that later became West Ham United F.C.
It is likely that he played in 'The Irons' first ever game against Royal Ordnance, and was a regular during the first half of the season. He was also part of the Thames Ironworks team that lost their first ever competitive fixture against Chatham Town in the FA Cup on 12 October 1895.
Sage won the West Ham Charity Cup with the club in 1896.
