Daily Telegraph: McCartney was again the name in the news up until the interval. But this time it was George, not Paul or Heather. A fraught and messy affair was lit up by West Ham's Northern Ireland international left-back, George McCartney, who produced a gem of a finish followed by a timely goal-line clearance. The goal was a collector's item. Not only was it a perfectly-struck acrobatic volley with the right foot that McCartney normally reserves for standing on, it was also his first league goal. (Clive Tyldesley, 5th November, 2007)

BBC Sport: McCartney, facing his former club, was the architect of the first goal, chesting down a Hayden Mullins crossfield pass and sending in a teasing cross from the left flank. Cole had plenty to do, as the ball was behind him and angling away from goal, but he turned his body superbly to head into the top corner... But it was a substitution from Alan Curbishley that led to the winning goal, in the most unfortunate of circumstances for Sunderland. Solano replaced Noble and clinically pounced on a loose ball inside the area. As Gordon lay on the turf having seen the former Newcastle midfielder's cool effort come back off the woodwork, the ball connected with his outstretched right foot and rolled agonisingly into the net. Understandably the goal knocked the stuffing out of Sunderland and as they pressed in the dying moments, Luis Boa Morte broke down the left and crossed for Bellamy to flick home at the near post and give the scoreline an unfair reflection. (14th October, 2007)

WestHamOnline: Seemed to lack in self belief today which is surprising after his goal against Roma and that he must know that there is no competition for his position in the team. There was reluctance from him to put a cross in; instead he kept knocking the ball back when he has a decent left foot from which we could have used to our advantage. (11th August)

Sunday Times: From Freddie Ljungberg’s corner, defender George McCartney leapt highest in a crowded penalty area to direct a powerful header home. (5th August, 2007)

KUMB: United's equaliser (against Roma) arrived 18 minutes into the second half when George McCartney latched on to a Freddie Ljungberg corner to nod home at the far post. (4th August, 2007)
