George Harrison was a flying winger and set-piece master, who, with Sam Chedgzoy, provided the First Division with its finest wing pairing of their generation. He played for Everton between 1913 and 1923. He won the First Division Championship with Everton in 1915.
His career straddled both sides of the First World War, but there was no let up in standards during this four-year football hiatus and he earned honours on either side of the conflict. Of Everton’s plethora of new signings Harrison was the one who made the most lasting impact. His pace and incisiveness on the Everton flank brought a new dimension to their play and stretched Everton’s opponents to their limit. He was potent from set pieces too, and his fierce shot was a testing weapon in the club’s attacking armory.

' Liverpool Post and Mercury' on his arrival at Everton wrote:
He is exceedingly fast, centres well, and is also a good shot. In the past season he scored six goals (Three from penalty kicks)

'Liverpool Courier' wrote:
He was a player who can ‘deliver a powerful left-footed drive that can score without the help of the inside forwards.’

'Liverpool Courier' wrote:
Chedgzoy was the most brilliant player in the team, and Harrison his club mate was little inferior

Evening Express: May 8, 1916 about 'LIVERPOOL V EVERTON 1-3 (FRIENDLY: MAY 6, 1916)' wrote:
On the other hand, Taylor was busy punching and catching, and with Harrison’s crosswise drive he had no chance while Chedgoy opening – a twenty yard range rising ball – would have beaten any goalkeeper. It was a gem...The goals scored were all of them “tip-toppers,” For real ingenuity that of Harrison’s will take some beating, through the ingenuity was that of Jefferis. The latter saw the outside left about to drive in a terrific centre. He covered the view of the ball and prevented Taylor seeing it until it was head-high about a yard from him when he threw himself prone, with the result that the ball continuing its flight flew with deadly accuracy into the net –a remarkable point.
