Who was George Poyser?

George Henry Poyser was an English football player and manager.

A defender, he enjoyed a lengthy playing career, the tail end of which was interrupted by World War II. He played for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Stourbridge, Mansfield Town, Port Vale, Brentford, and Plymouth Argyle. He helped Brentford to win the Second Division title in 1934–35.

He became a coach and manager after the war, taking charge of Dover, Notts County, and Manchester City. He took County into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, though he was better equipped as a scout than as a manager.
