My books show that George Kay joined West Ham from Distillery F.C. and not from Belfast Celtic F.C.. Both clubs were located in west Belfast at the time just before World War I and according to Google Maps,[1] they were about a mile apart so I guess the two clubs could easily be confused. The offical Lisburn Distillery F.C. website (Distillery changed their name some years after the club moved to Lisburn at the beginning of the 1980s) show in some detail including appearances, that George Kay played for them[2], and I propose to change have changed West Belfast F.C. to Distillery F.C. in the text.
5 GEORGE KAY joined Distillery from Bolton Wanderers at the start of 1911-12 and played regularly that season until injury put him out of action for quite a while. He returned to the team at the start of 1913-14, helping to win the Gold Cup and also the CAS the following season. He joined the army and was shell-shocked during World War One. On recovery he joined West Ham in July 1919 and later became manager of Liverpool. He made 91 appearances for Distillery scoring 14 goals and played twice for the Irish League.
