[edit] Career
Santos turned professional with Toulon, before moving to England to join Tranmere. On transfer-deadline day in 1999–2000 he moved to West Bromwich Albion, and helped the club preserve their Division One status. Refusing to commit to a long-term deal at Albion, he signed for Sheffield United in the summer.[1] Santos was one of three Sheffield United players sent off in the notorious Battle of Bramall Lane, a match against his former club West Brom that was abandoned with United down to six players. He made his international début for the Cape Verde Islands in September 2002.[2]
Santos joined Grimsby Town in December 2002, signing a deal until the end of the season.[3] He was unable to save the Mariners from relegation to Division Two. In summer 2003 he joined Ipswich on a three-month contract.[4] Santos signed a two-year contract at QPR in summer 2004.[5]
Santos joined Brighton in August 2006.[6] On 5 January 2007, he joined Oxford on loan until the end of the 2006-07 season.[7] He was released by Brighton in May 2007.
On 31 August 2007 Santos joined Chesterfield for a month on non-contract terms.[8] On 1 November 2007 Georges Santos left Chesterfield. He then arrived on 7 November 2007 on trial at Rotherham United.[9] During the 2007–2008 season he had been linked to Crawley Town, but on 27 September 2007 it was announced on the Alfreton Town website he had joined the Blue Square North club. In January 2008 he moved to Farsley Celtic.[10]
