1573) George Camsell

George Camsell (1902 - 1966).

English footballer. Scored a club record 325 league goals in 418 games for Middlesbrough. Also holds the highest goals-to-games ratio of any England player who played more than once, scoring 18 goals in 9 appearances.
"John Arlott, the great cricket journalist who for a time covered football for the Guardian, wrote that Camsell 'was not just a poacher, but a well-equipped footballer…red-headed, athletically built, buoyant, balanced and fast.'"
