George Samuel Brown (born 1883) was an English amateur footballer who made two appearances for Southampton in the Southern League in 1910. His full-time occupation was as a fisherman.

Football career

Brown was born in the Longfleet St Mary parish of Poole and had represented the Dorset County F.A.^[1] In March 1910, he was invited to The Dell for a trial; considered "up to scratch",^[1] he took the place of Horace Glover at left-back (Glover had moved to centre-forward in the absence of Charlie McGibbon) for the Southern League match at Bristol Rovers on 26 March 1910. Described as "tall, weighty and muscular",^[1] Brown played well enough to earn another match, a week later, at home to Norwich City.^[2]

Despite acquitting himself well in his two first-team appearances, Brown decided to abandon his football career and resume his profession as a fisherman, although he continued to play for his local club, earning a trial with the England amateur team in January 1911.^[1]
