George Campbell was an association football player who represented New Zealand, playing in New Zealand's first ever official international.[1] He was New Zealand's first national team captain.[2]
Campbell made his full All Whites debut in New Zealand's inaugural A-international fixture, beating Australia 3-1 on 17 June 1922[3] and ended his international playing career with six A-international caps to his credit.[1] Campbell scored back-to-back hat-tricks in his final two matches against Australia in June 1923, a 3-2 win and a 4-1 win, in which he scored all four.[3][4]
