George "McClumsy" never quite got it together south of the
border despite a successful career with Celtic that included two
Championship medals and the winner against Rangers in the 1980 Cup
Final. He was even brought into Scotland's World Cup squad in 1982,
but never made the step up from U-21 to full international. He
would occasionally show a great touch of skill at Leeds that made
his apparent lack of commitment and enthusiasm all the more
infuriating to the fans, and it was no great surprise when he
returned to Scotland after three unimpressive seasons with
Leeds.
Natalie McCluskey says: Dont agree with ur statement
sorry!!!
Ashleigh McCluskey says: Hey,thats ma da ur talking about and im
not that happy with ur comments. What have u ever done in football
eh? ma da was a great player and could still beat u wae his eyes
shut!
michelle 'the coach' power says: well ive seen george mccluskey
play on many of occassions and ive also seen many, many topclass
world players and i must say mccluskey comes out on top. He had so
much technique and skill and was far too good for the english
league i suppose thats why he returned to scotland. to add to his
success he is a very handsome man though he has a dodgy nose
concieved from some dirty players from the english league of course
(bastards) a liked his nose the way it was. anyway u wanna see a
skillfull performance then george mccluskey is that man to watch
well on video cos hes a bit rusty noo!!!
big jim the bradford tim says: i saw george mccluskey play for
celtic on many an occasion he always gave his all for celtic leeds
fans blame george for a lot but your team wasnt exactly doin the
biz then were they
Scattienattie says: On urself big man jimba
RosscofayMoscow says: personal i would have to say that Ashleigh
your comment was terribly feeble...your "da" simply didn'y have the
skills to succeed at a "upper class" level. Plz stop talking
nonsense and tell your father he is nothing compared to the king
himself...jinxy Minghawk..AKA "Tyson" of rs
Ashleigh McCluskey says: Is that right RosscofayMoscow. My Dad
could cut it at the "upper class" just Leeds arnt exactly upper
class r they??
Keith McCluskey says: George is my brother and I have to agree
with most comments here. He was a clumsy on the ball and often
didn't put the effort in. Ashleigh you need to stop kidding
yourself, hen. When George and I were young, I used to skin him all
the time down the sandy. He had bow legs and poor touch.
rosscofaymoscow says: well ashleigh..once again you are backing
up your father...but in my days of watching him..he was,in one
word.."guff"...no need to start crying over this..tell him
personally from rosscofaymoscow that a want a 1v1 game with him at
football one day. p.s thats if he still has it in him...cough
cough
Ashleigh McCluskey says: Ok..u guys win...my daddy was a failure
and a very big flop..I hope u guys are happy with yourselfs now
because i feel as thought i want to run away as the truth has
finally come out. I would also like to say that i recently went to
stuggart to see the beach boys live, and it was in word
"fanTASHtic"
Ashleigh McCluskey says: U r all sad pathetic wee ppl...get a
life. Keith a hink a wud no if a had an uncle in an Mental
institution n i dnt hink i wud write pish likeOk..u guys win...my
daddy was a failure and a very big flop..I hope u guys are happy
with yourselfs now because i feel as thought i want to run away as
the truth has finally come out. I would also like to say that i
recently went to stuggart to see the beach boys live, and it was in
word "fanTASHtic" cos ma da wisnae a failure just face it ur club
is a failure.....ul nvr win nething ever again!!!
Keith McCluskey says: ASHLIEIGH don't speak like that to yer
uncle, hen. Ya daft rooster. Maybe when you get the shaving
utensils out you can start talkin some sense. Get they teeth fixed
aswell, yer dentures are pathetic ya stiggy beaver,
Ashleigh McCluskey says: wish u were ma uncle mate....fact is ur
a sad pthetic little man whith nothing btr to do wae his time than
think up stupid wee fantasies
Ginger says: I just met George in Munich this past Wednesday,
for the Bayern v Sellick game in the CL. Leeds fans reading this
may be confused - CL is 'Champions League'. Its a big European
competition... ;-) Anyway, George seemed like a nice bloke, that's
all I know.
Anon says: George McCluskey was a cracking player. a very down
to earth alround good guy,who is at the moment operating Celtic
soccer school and doing a very good job
barrymccluskey says: all i can say is that u r not a bad
footballer if u r the top goal scorer in the scottish league 2 year
running sorry
Chalk McCue says: Cracking player , cracking guy , nuff said.
Hail Hail! FTQ!
Devon White says: George was a great player. So much talent. It
was just that he played in such a poor Leeds team. A bit like Giggs
would be in a (even more) crap team. He'd beat three men with his
skills and then pass to the (non existant)winger for a throw in. He
is also part of one of my favourite football moments. Away at
Charlton at the Valley in '84, their attack broke down. All the
players except George, one defender and their goalie were in the
Leeds half. Mervin Day kicked the ball out while George sprinted
(??!?) into their half. The ball hit him on the back of the head,
knocking him face down in the mud, while the defender cleared. I
don't think I've ever laughed so much. Great memories George - glad
to see you're still around.
Mochael Serevena says: From what i know, he was a good player,
and probably still is! George McCluskey rates highly in my view.
Even if he didnt quite make it in England and didnt get to full
International, he was still a bloody good player!!
