George Brown Key (11 February 1882 – November 1958) was a Scottish international footballer who played in both the Scottish and English football leagues.

Career

[edit]

Key was born in the Dennistoun district of Glasgow, and played at Junior level for Parkhead[3][4] before stepping up to Heart of Midlothian in 1899. With Hearts, Key won the Scottish Cup in 1901[5] and the following season, was capped for Scotland against Ireland,[6] also appearing in the away leg of the 'World Championship' against Tottenham Hotspur. He was a Scottish Cup runner-up in 1903.

After a disagreement with Hearts over financial matters, Key was signed by Chelsea in 1905 for their first season in English football.[7] The West London club's manager Jacky Robertson had been an international teammate of Key's three years earlier.[1] Key was only a regular in his first year at Chelsea, and left in 1909.[8]

His brother William was also a Scotland international.[9]
