A left-back, Switzer played for Darlington, Hyde United, Salford City, Irlam and AFC Monton before his retirement in 2013. CareerBorn in Salford, Greater Manchester, Switzer began his career as a youth player at Manchester United, having joined the club in 1982 after being spotted playing for the local Barrhill Lads Club when he was only eight years old.[1][2] Switzer was part of the United youth team that won the FA Youth Cup in 1992, playing with future United stars such as Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, David Beckham and Paul Scholes. Following on from this success, Switzer was offered a professional contract with the Red Devils; however, unlike his team-mates, who received multi-year deals, Switzer was only offered one year.[3] Club manager Alex Ferguson considered Switzer too small to play at left-back and he was released at the end of the 1992–93 season.[2] Switzer then signed for Darlington on a free transfer in July 1993.[4] However, Switzer only played for the Quakers for one season, failing to hold down a regular place, before being given another free transfer in the summer of 1994. He then signed for Hyde United in the Northern Premier League, and played for them for six years from 1994 to 2000, making over 200 appearances for the East Manchester team. Since then, Switzer has played for Salford City, but left his home-town club in 2006 to sign for Irlam. After a short time there, he signed for AFC Monton. Personal lifeOutside of football, Switzer has had a number of careers, including working as an optical technician for Dolland & Aitchison at their factory in Salford,[5] and driving a van for a Manchester courier firm.[2] References1. ^{{cite news |first=Rob |last=Dawson |title=George Switzer tells the M.E.N. that, like his illustrious United Class of ’92 team-mates, he is still enjoying his football 20 years on |url=http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/george-switzer-tells-the-men-that-688257 |work=Manchester Evening News |publisher=MEN Media |date=15 May 2012 |accessdate=30 November 2013 }} {{DEFAULTSORT:Switzer, George}}2. ^1 2 {{cite news |first=Steve |last=Brenner |title=Our careers are Scho different |url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2002390000-2007020715,00.html |work=Sun Online |publisher=News Group Newspapers |date=18 January 2007 |accessdate=19 August 2007 }} 3. ^{{cite news |title=George Switzer, hvor ble det av deg i alt mylderet? |trans-title=George Switzer, where were you in all the myriad? |url=http://www.dagbladet.no/2008/11/14/magasinet/fotball/ryan_giggs/premier_league/paul_scholes/3708456/ |work=dagbladet.no |publisher=DB Medialab |date=14 November 2008 |accessdate=30 November 2013 }} 4. ^{{cite news |first=John |last=Ley |title=Alex Ferguson: Manchester United Transfers |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/football/john_ley/sftman.xml |work=The Telegraph |publisher=Telegraph Media Group |date=4 September 2001 |accessdate=19 August 2007 }} 5. ^{{cite news |title=Where are they now? |url=http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/s/13/13459_where_are_they_now.html |work=Manchester Evening News |publisher=M.E.N. media |date=21 June 2002 |accessdate=19 August 2007 }} 13 : 1973 births|Living people|Sportspeople from Salford|Footballers from Greater Manchester|English footballers|Association football defenders|Manchester United F.C. players|Darlington F.C. players|Hyde United F.C. players|Salford City F.C. players|Irlam F.C. players|English Football League players|Northern Premier League players |
