Good luck to the bloke, I'm sure the past seven years haven't been fun for him.
Thanks for the wonder goals against Bradford, Leicester and Preston, and of course the opener in the 3-1 victory over the Albion.

It's a great shame but nonetheless inevitable. George has been a real credit to this club over the last few years, just a shame that luck hasn't been on his side.
Plenty of good memories from Georgeyboy, just glad he managed to get back for a while this season and bag a goal.
Still grateful to him for his brilliant spell in our promotion spell. One of my favourite players of recent years, really wanted it to work out for him this season.

Agreed, Matt Carbon has a lot to answer for...all his problems seem to have stemmed from that challenge.

I always felt we were a better team with Ndah in and it'll always be if Ndah was fit or maybe if Ndah had played it was a shame he was so injury prone. one of the player who truly gave a 100% and a nice bloke to boot

28-04-2006, 13:56
thanks for the memories george! stand out moment for me was his brace against tesco town and that unbelievable goal at preston
we wouldn't have got in the play off's in promotion season if not for his performances in the 2nd half of that year
hope he finds a career within the game coaching kids or somethin
as has been said before matt carbon has a lot to answer for- still the worst challenge i have ever seen:mad:

Feel for the bloke, I really do. Good luck to him in whatever he decides to do in the future. Always played with a smile on his face and gave his all when he played which sadly wasn't enough.
Bahama Wolf
28-04-2006, 14:08
Very sad, had the potential to be a truly good Wolves player, that injury sustained by Carbon sadly put paid to that, remember his early days and his partnership at Palace with Mark Bright, he had searing pace. Yep, that goal against Preston will not be forgotten! All the best George.

Mark Bright had left Palace long before Ndah broke through to their first team.

My son George's favourite player. I wonder why? Maybe the name.
Leaves me in the awful position of having to tell him when he returns home from school.
Thanks for the promotion season George.

Just looking on WOW, and did he really play 92 games? I didn't think that it had been anywhere near that number.

Averages just over 10 games a season though. Not many at all when you put it into perspective.

Top bloke, but as mentioned, it's been on the cards for a long time now. Also agreed that he was never the same after Carbon's tackle. Cheers, George.

Its not but don't forget there have been 1 or 2 seasons when he hasn't figured as all.
While 92 over that amount of seasons is very little I was just surprised to see he had made as many as that, thats all.

Always gave his all and on his reappearance this season showed us how committed he was diving into tackles as if he had never been injured in his life before.
So glad he got a goal against Derby this season to remind him of how it felt. Thanks George.

It's over just under seven seasons (he joined us in October 1999).
It includes 40 sub appearances as well, so in the end he averages around 7-8 starts a season.

Good Luck to him but he was finished in top flight football two seasons ago. We need to clear the decks of those prone to illness etc and concentrate on building the club with players who can turn out week after week.
Dangerous to rely on Ince, Anderton and the likes to get us promotion here on in.

Sad news. Was a great player who always played with a smile on his face. Apart from the goals two stand out memories for me.
1) His reaction after the Palace game when he came on and everyone cheered etc.
2) Driving down Waterloo Rd to join the team for the promotion tour, his smile was dazzling and he was beeping his horn to every Wolves fan!
Top bloke, wish him all the best

If only we had George and Akinbyi back in our attack instead of the toothless offering we now have. Things would be oh so different and the Molineux a happier place to be on match day.
wolfie smith
28-04-2006, 19:56
so true uncle F, those two really put the effort in and frightened the opposition, just because a player like akinbiyi doesnt score with every shot doesnt mean he is a bad player, did we really need his transfer money?
as for george thanks for the great goals, hope yu are rewarded with a clean bill of health from now on and can stay in football.

Did anyone else see the tackle that finished George's last spell of playing for us? It was almost as bad as the one by Carbon that started George's tremendous injury record and Muscat would have been proud of it.
Sadly George is now like me, a man with a great future behind him.

George was the most exciting player to pull on a Wolves shirt since Keano. A great shame he couldn't get free of his hoodoo, because on his day he is Premiership class. Thanks for the memories and some awesome goals, George.

It's football, it's life and we should all move on.
I wish George all the best for the future and hope his insurance pay off comforts him somewhat. Most professionals will say they played for the love of the game to start with and it was clear that George played with a zest in his stride when fit.
It's a sad way to end a career but it happens. Thanks for some good memories George....just a pity there weren't a few more. That said, you did something most of us here would die to do......play and score goals for WWFC.
Good luck and best wishes......kick a few of the mercenaries up the $$$$ on the way out will you. ;)

Good luck George. I will never forget your goal at Preston in our promotion year.
If only some of our other so called stars had your commitment.
We will now have to bring in a forward with pace during the summer as neither Cort, the final piece of the jigsaw or Clarke have the pace and the others are all leaving.
