George Mutch

George Mutch (November 21, 1912 in Aberdeen - March 30, 2001) was a Scottish football player. He played as an inside forward. Mutch started his Manchester United career in 1934. He played for United for four years, scoring 49 goals. After leaving, he went to Preston North End, where he helped the club win the 1938 FA Cup Final, the first to be shown on television. In the last minute of extra time, Mutch was fouled. He scored the resulting penalty kick, which rebounded from the underside of the bar, to win the match for Preston North End.
