George Edgar Smollett Sievwright (born 10 September 1937 in Broughty Ferry) is a Scottish former footballer who played as a wing half. Sievwright began his career in the mid 1930s with Dundee United in 1946, where he featured in 29 league games. After leaving Tannadice, Sievwright joined Oldham Athletic in a £500 deal.[2] He made 37 appearances and scored 4 goals before moving on to Tranmere Rovers. Appearing only in Tranmere's reerve team,[3] Sievwright spent a season with Rochdale, where supporters found about his release before he did.[4] Subsequently joining Macclesfield Town, Sievwright won the inaugural FA Trophy during his final playing years.

In November 1972, Sievwright moved into management, joining Mossley as player/manager. His time was brief, lasting little over a year before being dismissed in January 1974. He also had a spell managing Stalybridge Celtic.[3]
