George Malcolm (20 June 1889 – 1965) was an English professional footballer who played as a left half in the Football League for Fulham, Middlesbrough, Darlington, Durham City and in the Southern League for Plymouth Argyle.[1][3][4]
In 1934, Malcolm was employed at ICI's Billingham Manufacturing Plant, when an escape of ammonia gas resulted in the deaths of 11 workers.[5] In his testimony at the inquest of one victim, Malcolm described how he had to jump for his life, while the deceased was working higher up the structure and could not do so.[5]
