George Southall (1880 – after 1907) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Birmingham.[1]
Southall was born in Quarry Bank, which was then in Staffordshire. He began his football career in local football, and gained a reputation as both a goalscorer and a creator of chances while with Stourbridge. He joined Birmingham in December 1905,[2] and made his debut in the First Division on 7 April 1906 in a goalless draw at Derby County.[3] Though given a decent run of games, he was unable to perform at his best, so he returned to non-league football where he was again successful.[2]
