George Nicholson (born 12 May, 1905 in Pelaw) is a former English professional footballer.
Nicholson did not begin his professional football career until the relativley late age of twenty-five. He had been working as a miner while playing amateur football but in 1931 he was spotted by a scout from Bolton Wanderers. The scout had originally travelled to the match to watch another player but quickly moved to sign up Nicholson. He made his debut in a 2-2 draw with Liverpool in September 1931 and was a regular for the club until he was displaced by Harry Goslin. He spent time in the clubs reserves and jumped at the chance to play first team football again when he signed for Cardiff City in 1936. He was one of seven new signings made by the club in an attempt to steady the club which had been in decline for several years. He remained with the club for three years before signing for Oldham Athletic in 1939, however the outbreak of World War II soon after meant he never made an appearance for the club.
