George Malcolm (20 June 1889 – 1965) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Fulham, Middlesbrough, Darlington and Durham City,[1] and the Southern League for Plymouth Argyle.[2] He usually played at left half.[1]
In 1934 Malcolm was employed at ICI's Billingham Manufacturing Plant when an escape of ammonia gas resulted in the deaths of eleven workers. In his testimony at the inquest on one victim, Malcolm described how he had to jump for his life, while the deceased was working higher up the structure and could not do so.[3]
