George "Geordie" Armstrong (9 August 1944 – 31 October 2000) was an English football player and coach, who was mostly associated with Arsenal.
A winger, Armstrong made his Arsenal debut in 1962 at the age of 17 and went on to make 621 appearances – which was then an all-time club record – before he left Highbury in 1977.
He spent a season each with Leicester City and Stockport County, and then took up coaching, both domestically and abroad.
After a year as Kuwait national team manager, Armstrong returned to Arsenal as reserve-team coach in 1990, a post which he held for the remaining ten years of his life.
