PFAS72c A rare opportunity to secure this vintage 5.5" x 3" hand signed autograph page of George Marks who was an English Association Player Goalkeeper and made history for Arsenal as whilst only his second and final league appearance in goal for Arsenal, it was memorable as it was their 20 win over Brentford at Highbury, a match recorded on film for the movie The Arsenal Stadium Mystery. He has hand signed the album page where his signature rests perfectly accompanying his portrait in very good condition indeed.
William George Marks (9 April 1915 22 January 1998) was an English association football player, who played as a goalkeeper.He played twice for Arsenal before the outbreak of war, but served mainly as understudy to George Swindin and Alex Wilson; however he did play the final two games of the 1938-39 season, his debut coming against Derby County on 29 April 1939. His second and final league appearance in goal for Arsenal was memorable, as it was their 20 win over Brentford at Highbury, a match recorded on film for the movie The Arsenal Stadium Mystery. Official football was suspended during the war; Marks served in the Royal Air Force in Northern Ireland, but still found time to play 129 wartime matches for Arsenal and win one Football League War Cup and two Football League South medals, as well as eight wartime caps for England.
