George Samuel Austin Ashmore (5 May 1898 – 12 May 1973) was an English football player who played for West Bromwich Albion and Chesterfield, as well as the England national team.
Ashmore was born in Plymouth and represented South Devon & District Schools. After playing for Nineveh Wesley in Handsworth, he joined West Bromwich Albion in November 1919, and soon replaced Hubert Pearson as the first choice goalkeeper. He made his league debut in October 1920 against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park, a match that Albion lost 5–1.
On 24 March 1928 (Easter Monday), Albion played Southampton at The Dell. Ashmore was injured and was replaced in goal by a defender and was switched to the wing. In the second half, with the scores level at 2–2, Ashmore was back helping out in defence. Forgetting that he was now an outfield player, Ashmore caught the ball in the penalty area; Stan Cribb duly scored from the penalty spot to give the "Saints" the victory.
His solitary appearance for England came on 24 May 1926 in a friendly against Belgium. The match finished 5–3 to England with Frank Osborne scoring a hat-trick as England came from 3–2 down to take the match.

Ashmore is a village and civil parish in the North Dorset district of Dorset, England, situated 20 miles (32 km) south-west of Salisbury. The village is centred on a circular pond and consists of a church and several stone cottages and farms, many with thatched roofs. It is the highest village in the county. The pond or "mere" is what gave the village its original name of "Ashmere". In the 2011 census the parish had a population of 188.
Three round barrows have been found in the parish: two in the south near Well Bottom and one in the west near the boundary with Fontmell Magna; this latter barrow was removed in the 19th century and bones were recovered. Ashmore may have been the site of a Neolithic market place or settlement.
The Roman road from Bath to Badbury Rings passes through the east of the parish. The situation of the village is similar to Romano-British sites in the area, and there may have been a Roman military camp and trading post here. It is possible that Ashmore may have been a Romano-British village that has been occupied without a break up to the present day; the parish church is sited away from the pond at the edge of the village, which could indicate that the village pre-dated the church and Christianity.
