The obituary notice of Oliver Albert George LEY

As a supporter of both Exeter and Portsmouth I will miss George greatly, especially the stories he told me in Exeter about his time at Portsmouth.

I would also like to remember his boyhood friend, John Brand, who died a couple of weeks before George in Topsham.

Their mothers enabled George to be a pioneer in US football. Sad that neither of them will see this year's American/Canadian/Mexico World Cup.

George was possibly the only player to knock out his manager in the boxing rink, at George Smith's invitation.

A one off, a great attacking left back, as Arsenal will testify!

I remember George very well when he played for Exeter city, a real quality fullback who went to Portsmouth from Exeter, never forgotten George RIP ⚽️🇾🇪

What a great player, great coach, and all around great guy. It was a honor to play for you George. I loved your enthusiasm for the game and your quick wit. You will be missed.

Uncle George, thanks for all the great memories over the years and especially the time spent together in the States. Rest in Peace.

Dad - your presence is sorely missed by many. I love your company when you came over to Kansas City USA - I miss our talks on football! I miss our visits in person as well. I am so glad to see you in the last 4 summers. Will always carry your name in my heart wherever I go - Love you Always!
