George Greig (born 13 April 1871 in Dundee - 13 August 1940 in Perth) was a Scottish football manager.
Career
Greig was a prominent baillie on Dundee Corporation for many years and also a wealthy tobacconist. In March 1936 he saved Dundee United from almost envitable bankruptcy. Seven months later he sacked veteran manager Jimmy Brownlie and surprised everyone in Scotland by taking over himself as director-manager . This arrangement lasted a year and a half before Greig resigned in March 1938.
