Career
He played for six clubs in a seventeen-year professional career. In the years before, during and after World World War II, Blackpool were one of the most powerful teams in England, and the trio of George Farrow, Eric Hayward and Harry Johnston became legendary. Farrow"s main assets were accurate long-range passes, strong tackling, and a fierce strike of the ball.
He was also one of the earliest exponents of the long throw-in.
He went on to make a further 32 league appearances in the 1936-1937 campaign, scoring five goals. Initially an inside-left, he soon moved to wing-half, where his tackling was of more use.
In 1937-1938, Farrow made thirty league appearances and scored another five goals, and the following season appeared in all but four of the club"s league games. His only goal of the season was a penalty, Blackpool"s second goal in a 2–1 victory at Sunderland on 17 September.
Wartime football intervened between August 1939 and May 1945, and when League football resumed in 1945-1946, Farrow continued where he had left off, making 28 league appearances and scoring six goals.
Farrow missed the first eleven games of the 1946-1947 campaign, but he went on to appear in 28 of the remaining 31. His one-goal came in his first appearance of the season, a 3–1 victory over Manchester United at Bloomfield Road on 19 October. 1947-1948 proved to be Farrow"s final season at the seaside.
He made sixteen league appearances, scoring three goals, before being transferred to Sheffield United in the new year of 1948.
His final appearance for Blackpool occurred on 3 January, a 5–0 home victory over Everton. He finished his career with Bacup Borough and Whitburn Saint Mary"son
