 George Robledo was born
in Chile of a Chilean father and Yorkshire mother, but grew up in England to
become a fine goalscorer for Barnsley and Newcastle United. Chile
recruited him for the World Cup 1950 finals, and George became Jorge
although he did not speak Spanish. When he hit the post against England,
one of his opponents reputedly said, "Steady, George, you're not
playing for Newcastle now, you know." At the end of his contract with
Newcastle in 1953, Robledo returned to Chile and eventually served as the
national side's coach. He scored 127 goals in 251 Football League
matches, led the old First Division with 33 goals in the 1951-52 season, won
F.A. Cup winners medals with Newcastle in 1951 and 1952 and scored the only
goal in the 1952 Cup Final. He died in 1989.

Notes
Chile and Bolivia qualified for the World Cup 1950 final
tournament from Group 7 when the third team in the group, Argentina, withdrew
from the competition. Bolivia and Chile played two home and away games
in February and March, 1950. Miguel Angel Bestard records them as
"World Cup eliminator" matches in the list of Chile's results in his
International Football in South America 1901-1991 (1992), which would
seem to indicate they were played before Argentina's withdrawal. And the
Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistical Foundation Archive's list of results in games
between Bolivia and Chile describes them as "World Cup Qualifying"
matches. FIFA does not, however, include these games among the World Cup
preliminary matches played by either country, and the authoritative World Cup
histories do not mention them either, stating simply that Bolivia and Chile
qualified when Argentina withdrew. Other Chile results lists do not
describe them as World Cup qualifying matches. We have therefore
recorded these two matches as friendlies.
