George Gregory Philip (1890 – 1968) was a Scottish footballer who played mainly as a centre forward between 1910 and 1921.
Philip was born in Newport-on-Tay and began his playing career with Dundee, for whom he played in the Scottish Football League, usually as a centre-half[3] (a goalkeeper of the same name was also in the squad in the same period).[4] After a strong 1913–14 season, scoring 15 goals in 37 appearances,[5] Sunderland paid a then club-record fee of £2,000 to sign Philip in 1914. Converting to play as a striker, Philip made an immediate impact, scoring 22 goals in 37 appearances in his first season.[6]
With the outbreak of World War I, Philip served as a corporal in the British Army and made a number of guest appearances for Sheffield United while stationed in the area, as well as two appearances for Rangers.[5] [7] After the end of the war Philip returned to Sunderland but soon opted to head back to Dundee, with whom he played one further season before retiring.[5]
