George Farm

George Neil Farm (13 July 1924 – 18 July 2004) was a Scottish professional football goalkeeper and manager.

Born in Slateford, a suburb of Edinburgh, Farm represented his country on ten occasions, the last three of which occurred after a gap of five years.

Well-built, Farm possessed a distinctive way of holding the ball, preferring to catch it with one hand above and one below, as opposed to the more orthodox style of one hand on either side of the ball. He was a perfectionist, and could often be seen practising long after his teammates had left.

Hibernian

After playing junior football with Armadale Thistle, Farm began his professional career in 1947 at Hibernian. After a year and only seven first-team appearances at Easter Road, Farm signed for Blackpool. Farm was kept out of the Hibs team by the good form of Jimmy Kerr.

Blackpool

Farm signed for Blackpool, then in the England first division, on a free transfer. He went on to break several appearance records and played in two FA Cup finals (see 1951 FA Cup Final and 1953 FA Cup Final).
