George Stephenson (footballer, born 1865)

George Stephenson (born in 1865, date and place of death unknown) was an English footballer who played as a forward. His career spanned the late 19th century, a period often referred to as the early years of professional football.

Details about Stephenson's career are scarce, but it is known that he played for Newcastle East End, a prominent club in the north-east of England which later merged with Newcastle West End to form Newcastle United in 1892. Stephenson was part of the Newcastle East End team prior to the merger, likely playing in regional competitions and friendlies, as the Football League was still in its infancy and professional football was not yet fully established in the region. Specific details about his playing style, number of appearances, and goals scored are not readily available in surviving records. Further research may be required to uncover more detailed information about his footballing career.
