George M. Liddell (born July 14, 1895 in Murton, County Durham, died in Birmingham) was an English professional footballer and manager.

Biography

George Liddell first played League football as an amateur for South Shields, newly-elected to the Second Division when the Football League resumed after World War I. He turned professional when he moved to Birmingham in 1920. He spent the whole twelve years of his professional playing career at the club, for whom he made 345 appearances as wing-half or fullback in all competitions, and played in the 1931 FA Cup Final. He was a powerful defender who read the game well and was positive on the ball.

When manager Leslie Knighton left Birmingham for Chelsea in 1933, Liddell succeeded him. He remained in charge while the club retained their top-flight status, leaving the job at the end of the 1938–39 season once the club were relegated. During his six-year tenure he selected 70 different players for first team duty. [cite web
