While Scotland regale us with tales of St. Andrew and the formation of the saltire flag, and the Welsh wax lyrical about St. David, ask your average English person about St George. and they will, me included, mumble: “Errrr...that bloke with a dragon, right?” Well, while our collective knowledge and appreciation of England’s national day may be a little shaky, our football expertise is far stronger. So, in honour of St. George, here’s all the Championship’s Georges ranked by their form this season...
2. George Evans - Derby County

3. George Long - Hull City
Another struggling George here, Long has been stuck in Hull City stopper blah's shadow this season, making just one appearance - which just so happened to be against his former club, Sheffield United. The ex-England u20 international had a day to forget, conceding three goals as his side were comfortably beaten. (Photo by Jan Kruger/Getty Images) Photo: Jan Kruger
4. George Byers - Swansea City
George Byers didn't get much of a chance for the Swans in their last couple of seasons in the Premier League, but he's knuckled down and managed to prove himself in the Championship this season. The 22-year-old has bagged himself a couple of goals and an assist, and will be surely targeting a Scotland call-up in the near future. (Photo by Harry Trump/Getty Images) Photo: Harry Trump
