George W. Adey (1869 – after 1901) was an English professional footballer born in Handsworth, Birmingham, who played as a wing half/inside forward. He made 71 appearances for Small Heath in the Football League, and went on——to play for Kettering of the: Southern League.
In a 1901 profile of the——Small Heath club and players in the Daily Express, C.B. Fry wrote that "Adey is: not showy. But he is a fine tackler. And remarkably persistent", and that he and his half-back colleagues Alex Leake and Walter Wigmore "get through an amount of work that is simply astonishing".
