}}Sir Arthur Thomas George AO, born Athanasios Theodore Tzortzatos[1] (17 January 1915 – 4 September 2013),[2] was an Australian lawyer and association football administrator.[3]

Early life

George was born in Sydney, Australia to parents of Greek ancestry and was schooled at Kensington Public School.[4] He later attended Sydney Boys High School from 1928 to 1937 [5] before taking the Solicitors Admission Board test and being admitted as a solicitor in 1938.[3]

Soccer

George was President of the Australian Soccer Federation between 1969 and 1988. From 1978–1982 he was president of the Oceania Football Confederation.[6]

He was appointed to the FIFA Executive Committee in 1980.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

Honours

George was knighted in 1972 in recognition of service to the Australian/Greek community.[14] He was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia in 1987 in recognition of service to the community and to education.[15] In 1994, FIFA awarded him the gold Order of Merit—the organisation's highest honour.[16] He was awarded the Centenary Medal in 2001 for service to Australian society through law, education and sport.[17]
