Wonderful yet poignant messages from former team mates. This is heartbreaking and then some.

You'll be missed but never, ever, forgotten George. One of a kind and one of us x
Unbelievable news. One of those moments well remember as blades for the rest of our lives.

You're right though, it's a testament to George just how influential he was to his team mates. It's been said he wasn't the world's best footballer but he gave 110% which for me is entirely what being a Blade is all about. Again as has been said, he seemed to just 'get it'

Slight side note it's also a comment on the club and the team spirit that's instilled in them when even ex players like Mcatee are speaking about him.
 

As previous posters have alluded, encaptured everything we would want in a player. Be it the good times through promotions and climbing to 5th in the Premier League, or our 2 relegation seasons, he never hid and always played with the passion each of us fans would if we had gotten the chance.
 
Epitomised everything it means to put on a red and white shirt. Commited, skilful and articulate. Thank you for the memories George.

RIP and thoughts are with his family and friends.
 
Gutted still this morning. Feels like such a personal loss and I never even met the man, beyond clapping and cheering from the stands at him.

What a club representative and what a player he was for us. Some of the greatest tenacity I've ever seen. Took him to the top.

His young family's loss doesn't bare thinking about.

RIP Georgey Boy.
 

RIP George 😢! Absolutely gutted! Got a message yesterday from a very old mate's daughter (friends for 65 years from junior school and a fellow Blade) that he was in hospital with not long left. Then just got up for breakfast and read this tragic news. Always 100% and never less from Gorgeous George. Sometimes the world can be a cruel place. Very sad 24 hours.

⚔️⚽❤️
 
George absolutely epitomised what Blades fans want from a player… talent, commitment, character and graft.
I was so delighted that he was set to finish his career with a fantastic move to Greece where they were beginning to really appreciate his talents at international level. It’s tragic to have lost him at such a young age and my absolute heartfelt condolences go out to his family.

Agree….notice how when a player turns us down, refuses to sign a contract to go elsewhere they normally receive stick for being a money grabbing traitor.. Then you see disparaging comments about that player not being that good, so we didn’t want them anyway.

This didn’t happen regards George, everyone understood and sent him our best wishes in Greece.

Once a Blade always a Blade.
 
This has floored me. We all loved George optimised everything about wearing the Blades shirt. Absolutely devastated 😢

R.I.P Starboy ⭐
 
R.I.P George, condolences to family and friends, such sad sad news.
Hope your in the blades bar upstairs with all the other legends of the Lane.
So so sad.
 
I'm absolutely stunned. Starman was an absolute legend for us - always went onto the pitch with his heart on his sleeve. He gave us his all each and every game, and he was rightly adored for doing so.

Having a young family of my own, I cannot imagine how devastating this must be for those he leaves behind. I can only offer my deepest sympathies to all those close to him.

Rest well Georgie. We will miss you.

He was the one player from that crop that left that I thought still compete at the levels we needed from him, but no, never begrudged him making that move.
