He is considered to be Fulham's second all-time greatest player, after Johnny Haynes. George joined Fulham professionally in 1956 and remained a dependable performer for 13 years thereafter. In May 1964, England coach Alf Ramsey tried him out for his international debut in a 2-1 win over Uruguay. He went on to play in 21 of the next 23 internationals and became England's first choice right back for the 1966 World Cup tournament. George was an immaculate performer in Ramsey's revolutionary team which played without conventional wide men, allowing for extra strength in midfield and relying on young, stamina- based players like Martin Peters and Alan Ball to drift from centre to flank and back again as required. When these players were occupied in more central positions or chasing high up the flank and needing support, this was where attacking full backs like Cohen proved their extra worth. George's 37th and final England appearance came in a 2-0 win over Northern Ireland at Wembley on November 22, 1967. He ended his Fulham career in 1969 with 459 appearances for the club, a figure surpassed by only four other players in Fulham's history. Manchester United's legendary winger George Best described Cohen as ''the best full back I ever played against''.
