Rovers, Back and the Lewis Select were all fortunate enough to call upon his services during a football career which brought personal accolades and team medals in most of the islands' premier football competitions.
"I think I am one of the last players in the island to have played against all three Inverness clubs. I played against Inverness Thistle in 1977 for Rovers, I played for the Lewis Select against Inverness Caley in 1980 and later that same year I completed my set against Inverness Clach for Rovers.
"The famous island striker Rasper Macdonald was actually playing against me for Caley and he scored, the brat," added George with a smile.
Growing up in Stornoway George was quickly snapped up by one of the town teams but a family connection meant United and Aths never really had a chance of signing up the promising shot-stopper.
He continued: "My uncle Rob Macdonald was a centre-half for Rovers when I was coming through so it was because of him that I signed with them.
"I began with the club at a young age within the five-a-side league. Myself, Al Crae, George Duncan Macleod, 'Prickles', 'Buckie' Mackenzie and Norman Patterson made up the team. We soon built up enough players to make a junior side and we began contesting the junior league.
"We had a very good young side and we were straight away challenging for honours.
"I remember we were playing against United at the old Willowglen pitch in a league decider. We only needed a draw for the league while they needed a win. Their manager ended up reffing which wasn't a good start but what followed was terrible.
"The ball ended up getting stuck up a tree and despite all our best efforts shaking the tree we couldn't get it down. All of a sudden the ball dropped to United's Brian Munro. He passed it on to Peter Macarthur who scored while all of our own players stood around wondering what to do.
"The goal stood, which was a terrible decision considering the ball had been stuck up a tree, and we lost the game 3 – 2 and therefore lost the league.
"United were a year or so older than us and had players like Michael Clinton and Waheid in their team so we had done very well in our first season.
"We won the league the following year and several of us progressed into the senior team."
An exciting football chapter was beginning at Rovers of which George was very much a part and several of the young side were also called up to represent the isles in the Junior Select.
"One of my favourite early memories is of playing for the junior Lewis Select against Celtic Boys Club in 1974. They had Tommy Burns, Jim McInally and Frank Mcluskey in their team and I think Mcluskey scored something like seven goals for them against us.
"One of our trips with the junior select took us to Dingwall where we were surprised to find out our game was being reffed by a deaf and dumb dwarf!
"Despite our initial misgivings he turned out to be an absolutely fantastic referee.
"It was also on this trip where one of my funniest moments in football happened thanks to a team mate, who shall remain nameless although they know who they are.
"I woke through the night thinking someone had left the radio on. I looked around and realised the sound was coming from an air vent next to my bed. I then realised that one of my team mates was singing 'Your Cheating Heart' in another room.
"The seniors was a lot more rough n' ready than the juniors but we had some good players and did quite well. I was actually handed the Rovers goalkeepers jersey before I made my debut by 'Buck' Mackaskill - later to become a Point legend - who was leaving the club to go to Point. "During the 1970s and early 80s, Rovers forged a Cup pedigree and earned silverware in most of the cup competitions but sadly for the Stornoway side, the big prize of the Lewis and Harris league title, always eluded them.
George continued: "Like many others have said before me, we really were the 'nearly men' of Lewis football. We came so close to winning the league so many times but we always just fell short. We were a good cup team though and my first senior trophy was the Jock Stein Cup in 1978.
"I remember the game well and we beat Harris 3 – 1 in the final. The goal also saw one of the best goals I have ever seen. In my opinion there are two men who can lay claim to possessing the hardest shot in island football; Al Crae and Duncan Kennedy.
"During the final, we got a free kick 20 yards out which Al Crae rocketed into the top corner. There isn't a goalie in the world who would have come near saving that.
"He was a really funny guy as well as great striker. Another team mate James 'Todd' Macdonald was always late for our games. We would be stripped and on the field when he would arrive and I remember Al remarking he'll be late for his own funeral yet.
"Al had a lethal shot on him and I remember we hammered Tolsta 9 – 1 one night and he scored six of them. The headlines in the next week's Gazette gave us all a laugh as it read 'Al Crae buries Tolsta.' A perfect headline for an undertaker.
"We won the Jock Stein Cup again in 1980 with Harris again losing to us in the final. This proved to be a much closer affair as we drew 3 – 3 and only edged them 3 – 2 out in the replay.
"Harris were an excellent team then with guys like 'Nula', Iain Anderson, Neilie Morrison in the team.
"I also played in the Eilean an Fhraoich for Uig. It was with them that I suffered another of my most devastating football heartbreaks. We reached the semi-final one year where we were playing Harris. We drew 3 – 3 in Tarbert and 3 – 3 in Ardroil so we had a deciding game at Goathill.
"It was 2 – 2 up until the final few minutes when we gifted them the game.
My team mate James 'Todd' Macdonald had a banana shot on him and with only a few minutes to go he showed it off.
"A cross came into the box which I shouted for him to leave but he sliced it about 20 feet up into the air. It sailed over my head and bounced into the net for an own-goal and we lost 3 – 2.
"I'm also one of a handful of players to have won the Jock Stein Cup with two different clubs. After winning it with Rovers twice I also got a winner's medal with Back in 1983. I had signed for them earlier that season as I fancied a wee change after a long time at Rovers.
"I went back to Rovers after a season though but I found myself in and out of the team as they had signed Angus 'Nickers' Nicolson from Tolsta. At the same time Back were struggling without a goalie so I returned to Back for my second spell. My first game second time around came in the Highland Amateur Cup when we travelled down to Uist."
After hanging up his gloves, George was keen to remain in the game he loved and the juniors of Stornoway United, the Boys Brigade and the Colts League benefited from the help of one of the islands' top goalkeepers.
"I always enjoyed that and at one time we had 30 boys training at the Stornoway Primary on a Saturday and most of these are now in the senior game.
"One of these boys was Paul Murray who is now with Aths. You could always tell he had something about him. He was a star in the making and that is why he is on my dream team squad.
"I'm still a regular at a lot of the local games and I do like Aths. I respect the way they play the game and their style. I also like the fact they give their juniors a chance and they are not afraid to turn to their youngsters. I was handed my Rovers debut at only 14 or 15 so I was thrown in at the deep end and it really helped me.
"Another player I would like to mention is Calum 'Gam' Murray. I've never seen a player like him before or since. The skill that man had was unbelievable He could tie you in knots and you can see where his son Andy of Lochs gets it from.
"However, I feel the best footballer I have ever seen on this island is Kenny Macsween of Lochs. He was absolutely brilliant and it was sad that he died so young. I can still remember the first time I saw him playing at Goathill. It was for the Lewis Select against Morton and you could see how good he was."
