George Ainsley,a centre forward, played for his local side South Shields St. Andrews before joining Sunderland in April 1932. He made his league debut on 6 May 1933 in a 1-1 draw away to Chelsea[3]. He played three more times the following season, in games against Portsmouth, Stoke City and Manchester City[3], but failed to feature again for Sunderland.

After retiring as a player, Ainsley travelled the world as a coach[2]. He began coaching in India in 1950, returning to coach the football team at Cambridge University in the early 1950s.
