Coates had a delayed start to league football due to the war. He served as a Leading Aircraftman with the No. 67 Squadron of the Royal Australian Air Force.[2] A rover, he made his debut in 1947 and proved to be a consistent goal-kicker for Fitzroy, kicking at least 20 goals in three of his first four seasons.[3] Coates played finals football in 1947 and 1952, ending up on a losing preliminary final team on each occasion.[3] He represented Victoria in 1949.[4] Once he left Fitzroy, Coates spent some time as coach of State Savings Bank in the Victorian Amateur Football Association.[5] Coates was later a Fitzroy administrator for over 20 years.[6] His son, Michael, played for the club in the 1980s. In 1965 he designed the prowling lion logo which was used by Fitzroy on their guernseys and adopted by the Brisbane Lions.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.lions.com.au/news/2014-02-18/vale-george-coates|title=Vale George Coates|last=Lord|first=Sam|date=18 February 2014|publisher=lions.com.au|accessdate=30 August 2014}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Coates, George}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=R&veteranId=897741| title=WW2 Nominal Roll| publisher=Government of Australia}} 3. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://afltables.com/afl/stats/players/G/George_Coates.html |title=AFL Tables: George Coates |website=afltables.com}} 4. ^{{cite book|last=Holmesby|first=Russell|last2=Main|first2=Jim|title=The Encyclopedia Of AFL Footballers| publisher=BAS Publishing|year=2007|isbn=978-1-920910-78-5}} 5. ^The Argus,"Hawks May Play Considine Again This Season", 10 March 1955, p. 19 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://australianfootball.com/players/player/George%2BCoates/7542| title=George Coates - Player Bio| publisher=Australian Football|accessdate=14 August 2015}} 7. ^Herald Sun,"New Brisbane Lion logo 'has no character', George Coates says", 10 December 2009, Damian Barrett 7 : 1923 births|Australian rules footballers from Victoria (Australia)|Fitzroy Football Club players|Fitzroy Football Club administrators|Royal Australian Air Force personnel of World War II|Sportspeople from Melbourne|2014 deaths |
