George Moorhead

George Henry Moorhead (27 May 1895 – 20 June 1975) was a Northern Irish footballer who played as a centre half in the 1920s. Born in New Zealand, he moved to Ireland as a child and enlisted in the Royal Irish Rifles during World War I, playing for their team. After the war, he joined Glenavon.

In August 1920, Moorhead signed with Southampton, debuting on 18 December 1920. He initially performed well but was suspended for twelve months due to an irregularity involving amateurs. Upon returning, he briefly played for Brighton & Hove Albion before moving back to Northern Ireland.

Moorhead joined Linfield in 1922 and remained there for nine years, aside from a spell at Glenavon. At Linfield, he became one of their all-time greats, winning the Irish League and the Irish Cup in his first season. In the 1926 cup final against Glentoran, Moorhead was marking Sammy Curran but was distracted by Jimmy Ferris's challenge, allowing Curran to score three goals.

Moorhead rarely missed matches for Linfield and walked from his home to Windsor Park for games. He ended his career with Heart of Midlothian in Scotland during the 1930–31 season.

In international football, Moorhead made three appearances for Ireland: one against Scotland in 1923, a friendly against France in 1928, and another against Scotland in 1929. He also played nine times for the Irish League.

Moorhead's honours include winning the Irish League twice and the Irish Cup once with Linfield.
