George Edward Northcott (7 May 1935 – 15 November 2010) was an English former professional footballer.[4]
Northcott joined Torquay United, where his elder brother Tommy was already an established first team player, as a junior. He turned professional in October 1952, but had to wait until the 1954-55 season for his league debut. He played over 160 times for Torquay before leaving at the end of the 1961-62 season.
He joined non-league Cheltenham Town from where he joined Exeter City in August 1963. However, he played just once for City,[1] before returning to non-league football.
