The Argyle Podcast

The next Trevor Francis.

Well, it didn’t quite turn out like that for George Foster, but he certainly has no complaints about his career.

The Plymouth born, football mad kid who grew up watching the sides of the late 1960s got his big chance against the player he was always likened to. Being thrust on to try and deal with one of the best forwards in the country, in a position you’re not accustomed to would probably faze most people, not George, it was a challenge.

He went on to captain Argyle, play almost 250 times before moving to Derby County and then Mansfield Town where he continued to enjoy success.

A hard man, who always got the best out of himself, this is the story of George Foster.
