George H. Whitworth (14 July 1896 – after 1928) was an English footballer who played for Northampton Town, Crystal Palace and Hull City in the Football League.[3]
Whitworth began his playing career with Rushden Windmill, and joined Northampton Town in 1914, but his career was then interrupted by World War I.[2] He played for Crystal Palace as a guest in wartime football competitions, but returned to Northampton thereafter.[2] It was not until after Palace had joined the Football League as a founder member of the Third Division South for season 1920–21 and were subsequently promoted to the Second Division in 1921 that Whitworth joined the club on a full-time basis.[2] He signed in May 1922,[4] for what was quoted to be a "large fee"[2] and played in eight games before the end of the season, scoring twice.[5]
Over the next three seasons Whitworth made a further 105 appearances scoring 46 goals but in 1925 Palace were relegated and in May, he moved to Sheffield Wednesday.[4] However, Whitworth could not break into the first team and in November 1925 moved on to Hull City, where he made 67 appearances in three seasons scoring 31 goals,[2] before finishing his career with Peterborough & Fletton United, whom he joined in the 1928 close season.[2]
