George Oliver Barclay (May 16, 1876 – April 3, 1909) was an American football and baseball player. He played Major League Baseball for the St. Louis Cardinals and later the Boston Beaneaters. He was also an early professional football player-coach for the Greensburg Athletic Association.[1] He was nicknamed "The Rose" for his concern with his looks[citation needed] and "Deerfoot" because of his speed.[1] Barclay also invented the first football helmet.[2][3]
