Liam Brendan George (born 2 February 1979 in Luton, England) is a footballer who currently plays for Barton Rovers on a part-time basis, having signed for them in 2010. He represented the Republic of Ireland in the Under 18 European Youth Championship.
George's family originates from Saint Lucia (father, Victor) and Church Street, Dublin (mother, Anne). He grew up on Luton's Marsh Farm housing estate and attended Cardinal Newman Catholic High School.
George started his career in football progressing through the youth ranks at Luton Town. He represented his country, the Republic of Ireland, at all youth levels. His career took him from an Under 18 European Youth Championship winner with Ireland to the USL in America within eight years.
Having broken into the Irish youth teams with the likes of Robbie Keane, Richard Dunne and Stephen McPhail, George progressed through the Irish youth teams and the Luton Town reserve team. In July 1998 he represented the Republic of Ireland in the UEFA Under 18 Youth Championships, reaching the final against Germany. The game went to penalties and, with the score at 3–3, George slotted home the winner to make it 4–3.
George's debut came in the 1997–98 season with a 3–0 defeat to Bristol City, however playing time was limited throughout the season's duration. The following season showed more promise and George started as a first team regular, although a broken leg prevented him from playing past the summer months. The 1999–2000 season was a greater success for George, bagging 16 goals. Luton were relegated the following year with George managing seven league goals, two cup goals. Luton were in the Third Division (now Football League Two) for the first time in over 30 years and George stayed at the club on a weekly contract basis. However Luton manager Joe Kinnear purchased a number of players and George struggled to hold down a starting position.
