George Cummings (Born Thornbridge, near Falkirk, 5 June 1913 - Died April 1987) known as the 'Granite-Hard Full-Back', was a Scottish footballer of the 1930s and 1940s.
Cummings was the captain of Aston Villa's great post-war defence, having signed for the club before the war, in 1935 from Partick Thistle.
He gained a Second Division championship medal in 1938 and a League War Cup tankard in 1944. He was Villa's skipper from 1945 to 1949. He was popular with supporters due to his never-say-die spirit and no-nonsense defending. He played 237 times for Villa between 1935 and his retirement in 1949.
On retirement he worked for the Dunlop Rubber Company and Hardy Spicer Ltd. in Birmingham.
