George Sharples Remembered
Goerge Sharples at Goodison Park circa 1961
George Sharples, who passed away on 14 December 2020, aged 77, had been one of nine surviving players to have played a part in Everton’s title-winning season of 1962-63 (the others being Jimmy Gabriel, Mick Meagan, John Morrissey, Derek Temple, Tony Kay, Billy Bingham, Ray Veall and Frank Wignall).
A son of Ellesmere Port, he was born on 20 September 1943 to parents James and Florence who ran a large and successful newsagent business in Overpool. A student at Wirral Grammar School – a rugby-playing establishment – George always had soccer as his first sporting love. He represented Wirral and Cheshire Schoolboys (along with Roy Parnell, who would become a close pal at Everton).
