George Farndale was the goal keeper for Redcar Crusaders Football Team in 1886: He kept out all the goals that day! Redcar won 4-0.

 

York Herald, 1 November 1886: REDCAR V TYNE. At Redcar. Rain fell up to within a few minutes of play being commenced, and in consequence the ground was in a wretched condition. Redcar were most fancied, and, as was anticipated, they beat Tyne somewhat easily by four goals to nil. Tyne kicked off, and for about a quarter of an hour, the play was principally in Redcar territory, but Taylor, an old Middlesbrough St. John's forward, obtaining possession of the globe had a nice run down the field with it, and made a low swift shot for goal... The game ended in favour of Redcar by four to nil, as above stated. The whole of both teams played an excellent game, and it would be unfair to individualise any player. Teams: Redcar: goal, G Farndale...

 

He also played in back, when Redcar lost to Whitby by 2 goals to nil.
