Liam is from a mixed background, his father was born in St. Lucia, whilst his mother was born in Dublin.
In 1998, George represented Ireland in the UEFA Under-18 Youth Championships, alongside Robbie Keane, Richard Dunne and Stephen McPhail, reaching the final against Germany. The game went to penalties and, with the score at 3-3, George slotted home the winner to make it 4-3.
The striker started his career at his hometown club of Luton Town. After a prolific couple of seasons in the youth and second-string Luton sides, he made his debut in 1997, going on to make over 100 appearances for The Hatters.

His stay at Broadhall Way wasn't long, and he left the following summer after just four appearances. The ex-Ireland youth international then had a three-month stint at Bury and then onto Boston United.
St. Pat's Athletic was Liam's third club of the 2002/03 season.
Following a succesful trial at Bootham Crescent, he signed a one-year deal with York City - then in Division 3. However, the Minstermen were relegated at the end of the 2003/04 season, the first time in the clubs history.
Having only scored 3 goals in over 20 appearances, Liam was told by manager Chris Brass that he would not be offered a new contract and he departed Bootham Crescent and signed for The Blues on 12th August 2004 - his seventh club in just over a year.
