George Haslam (footballer)
George Haslam (born 23 March 1898 – 13 August 1980) was an English footballer who played as a centre-half. Born in Turton, Lancashire, he began his career with Darwen before joining Manchester United in May 1921, signed along with John Howarth for a combined fee of £750. He made his debut nine months later in a 1–1 draw at home to Birmingham City on 25 February 1922. In just over six seasons with Manchester United, Haslam made just 27 appearances for the first team, although he was a regular for the reserves, whom he captained to second place in The Central League in 1926–27. In April 1927, he shared a benefit match against Sunderland with club veterans Lal Hilditch and Jack Silcock. Haslam was transferred to Portsmouth for a fee of £2,500 in November 1927, but left at the end of the season, returning to Lancashire to play for Cheshire County League side Ashton National. He became something of a journeyman in his later career, playing no more than a season for each of Whitchurch, Lancaster Town, Chorley, Burscough Rangers and Northwich Victoria. References
