George Woodger (3 September 1883 – 6 March 1961) was an English international footballer, who played as an outside left.

Career

Born in Croydon, he signed for Crystal Palace in 1905 from local club Thornton Heath Wednesday, and played a part in their 1–0 away win against Newcastle United in the FA Cup in 1907. In some reports, Woodger was said to have provided the pass that led to the goal that was scored by Horace Astley.
