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

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

stuggart to see the beach boys live, and it was in word "fanTASHtic"

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!!
