Player Valuation: £70m
I am deeply saddened to learn that former player George Sharples passed away earlier yesterday at the age of 77.
A wing-half, Sharples started his career at Everton, before joining Blackburn Rovers during the 1964-65 season.
An England schoolboy international, and was labelled the new Duncan Edwards.
George joined the ground staff in 1959, and was part of the FA youth cup side that lost to Chelsea 5-3 on aggregate over 2 legs
George made his Everton debut in a 1-1 draw against West Brom in November 1960.
He went on to make 11 appearances for the Toffees.
The thoughts of everyone are with George’s family and friends at this difficult time.
