George Meek: # 97 MOT 100 Greatest LUFC Players Ever

George Meek (1952-1960)

At a diminutive 5'3" was LUFC's smallest ever player, but made up for this by his boundless energy and elusiveness. A real box of tricks, his ball skills mocked many a full back. Born 1934, he joined LUFC from Hamilton Academical, in 1952 and played 199 games scoring 19 goals. His pinpoint crosses led to many a John Charles headed goal. Member of the 1956 Promotion team he left for Leicester in 1960 and later Walsall, but often returned to Leeds to star for the "Golden Oldies" in charity games.
