George Reginald Cohen MBE (22 October 1939 – 23 December 2022)
George Cohen was a one-club
player
Playing 459 games
at right back for Fulham
He will also be
forever immortalized
For winning the
World Cup with England in 1966
In which he played
in every minute
Of his country's six
games,
For which he was
inducted into
The English
Football Hall of Fame
England Manager, Sir
Alf Ramsey
Unequivocally called
Cohen
“England's
greatest right-back”,
While Manchester
United winger
George Best, claimed
he was
“The best
full-back I ever played against”.
His life was not
all glory however
He had more than
his fair share of illness and injury
And personal
tragedy in his life
But he was a true English
sporting hero
