Who was George Dorsett?
George Dorsett was an English footballer who played for West Bromwich Albion and Manchester City as a winger and wing-half.
Dorsett played for a number of local clubs before signing for West Bromwich Albion in November 1901. He joined Manchester City in December 1904 for a fee of £450, a record for a winger. He made his Manchester City debut in a home match against Stoke on 7 January 1905, and scored his first goal for the club a week later against Notts County. During his time at Manchester City he converted to a wing-half. He made a total of 211 appearances for the club, scoring 65 goals, an average of eight goals per season. Between 1910 and 1912 he played alongside his brother Joe, who also signed from West Bromwich. The pair became the first brothers to play in a Manchester derby.
He retired through injury in 1912, making his final appearance on 10 February against Oldham Athletic. He died in 1942.
