About George Piper Footballer

  • Gilbert Henry "George" Piper (21 June 1921–July 1987) was an English footballer active in the years immediately after the Second World War. A half-back, Piper began his career with Northfleet, a club which at the time acted as a nursery club for Tottenham Hotspur.
  • He signed for Tottenham as a professional in January 1940, but with competitive football suspended due to the Second World War, he was restricted to playing in unofficial wartime competitions.
  • Before The Football League resumed, he was released by Spurs and joined Gillingham of the Southern League.
  • For the next four seasons he played regularly as Gillingham dominated the competition, making 116 Southern League appearances in all.
  • In 1950, however, Gillingham were elected back into The Football League and signed Harry Ayres from Fulham to play in the half-back position.
  • After making only four appearances during the 1950–51 season, Piper left to join Dartford.
