George Farrow

In the years before, during and after World War II, Blackpool were one of the most powerful teams in England, and the trio of George Farrow, Eric Hayward and Harry Johnston became legendary.Farrow's main assets were accurate long-range passes, penalty taking, strong tackling, and a fierce strike of the ball.Born in Whitburn, South Tyneside, Farrow joined Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic from Wolves in July 1933.Farrow moved north from Bournemouth in 1936, for a £1,250 fee,[2] and made his debut for the Seasiders in September of that year, in a home win over West Ham United.He missed out on Blackpool's FA Cup run, which saw them reach that year's final, only to lose out to Manchester United at Wembley.
