Who was George Handley?
George Albert Handley was an English professional footballer who played most of his career as a winger with Bradford City. Born in Totley, Sheffield, he began his professional career with Chesterfield Town before moving to Bradford in 1906. After five years at Bradford, Handley left for Southampton in 1911 but his stay was only a brief one as he moved on to become player-manager of Goole Town in 1912. He re-joined Bradford in 1913 but was released at the end of the season and signed for Barrow with whom he remained for the duration of World War I, occasionally guesting for his home town club Sheffield United. After the war Handley returned to Bradford for a third spell, ending his playing career with the club, and later spent some time as coach of Swiss side Brühl.
