Reynolds was born in Marylebone, England to George Reynolds and Julia Ann Tautz. He spent much of his childhood under the care of his maternal grandmother. His grandmother employed a maid, Sarah White, who invited nine-year-old Reynolds to attend a meeting of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with her. Reynolds received permission from his grandmother to do so; Reynolds attended a sacrament meeting of the Paddington Branch of the Church with White, and almost immediately decided that he wished to become a member of the LDS Church.
However, Reynolds's parents refused to allow him to be baptized a member of the church. Often, he would evade his parents' wishes and attend the Sunday meetings in Paddington. When Reynolds was 14 years old, he attended the Somers Town Branch of the church, where he was unknown, and asked to be received into the church by baptism. Not knowing that Reynolds' parents had forbidden the action, the president of the branch, George Teasdale, baptized him on May 4, 1856; Reynolds was confirmed a member of the Church by Teasdale on May 11, 1856.
Reynolds was born in Ireland in 1839. He enlisted in the US Army from New York City in October 1861, and mustered out in October 1864.
Medal of Honor citation
“The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to Private George Reynolds, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism on 19 September 1864, while serving with Company M, 9th New York Cavalry, in action at Winchester, Virginia, for capture of Virginia State flag.”
The Bizarre Stadium That BANKRUPTED A Football Club
In the late 1990s, a local kitchen worktop tycoon and multimillionaire named George Reynolds saved Darlington Football Club from extinction.
Initially, he was hailed as a saviour, but within the space of just five years - Reynolds loaded the club with debt, made a series of high-profile transfer failures, and built a bizarre football stadium that was among England's largest outside of the Premier League.
So in this documentary, HITC Sevens takes a look back at the life of George Reynolds, the ridiculous 25,000 seater stadium that he built, and the legacy that both he and it have had on Darlington FC.

'Extraordinary' former Darlington FC owner and tycoon George Reynolds dies
Tributes have been paid following the death of the 'extraordinary' former Darlington Football Club chairman George Reynolds. The former safecracker, who was in his mid-80s, ran a multi-million pound business empire and at one point ranked at 112 on The Sunday Times Richlist before his famous downfall. He bought Darlington Football Club in 1999 and built the team a new 25,000-seater stadium costing £20 million. The archetypal football club chairman, complete with cigar and sheepskin coat, he dreamed of taking to Darlington into the Premier League - however it ended with him behind bars and the club going bust. Yet that was simply one chapter in an incredible life story, in which he went from petty criminal to rubbing shoulders with Oprah Winfrey and Donald Trump - making countless fri...

Tributes have been paid following the death of the 'extraordinary' former Darlington Football Club chairman George Reynolds. The former safecracker, who was in his mid-80s, ran a multi-million pound business empire and at one point ranked at 112 on The Sunday Times Richlist before his famous downfall. He bought Darlington Football Club in 1999 and built the team a new 25,000-seater stadium costing £20 million. The archetypal football club chairman, complete with cigar and sheepskin coat, he dreamed of taking to Darlington into the Premier League - however it ended with him behind bars and the club going bust. Yet that was simply one chapter in an incredible life story, in which he went from petty criminal to rubbing shoulders with Oprah Winfrey and Donald Trump - making countless friends and enemies along the way. "He was a rollercoaster character," admits radio host Paul 'Goffy' Gough, who spent an hour on the phone with him on Saturday night. It would prove to be the pair's last chat. "His health was failing but the one thing that came out clear was that he was still hanging on in there fighting," added Goffy. "He had been in hospital for some time, but he was always very positive and to his last breath George Reynolds would have been positive with hope." Paying tribute to a "character-and-a-half", he admits: "There is nobody to compare him too." Born in pre-war Sunderland, Mr Reynolds was also known for his brushes with the law, becoming involved in crime during his early life. His first known conviction was for stealing cigarettes, which he traded so that his family could eat. In the 1960s he was also jailed for six months for stealing watches, and in 1964 got four years for safe-cracking, handling explosives, burglary and theft. While serving time in the 1970s, he said a priest persuaded him to reform and on his release he set up the £25m Direct Worktops business in Shildon, County Durham. He began to amass a £260m fortune, which saw him ranked 112 on the Sunday Times Rich List in 2000. After becoming Darlington FC’s chairman in 1999, he promised to take the club into the Premier League and built a new £20m stadium, which he named Reynolds Stadium after himself. But in 2004 he took the club into administration. In June of the same year he was arrested on suspicion of money laundering after police stopped him and found £500,000 cash in the boot of his car. Reynolds later admitted tax evasion and in October 2005 was sentenced to three years in jail. "There is no doubt that George Reynolds was an extraordinary and colourful character with a truly great story to tell about how he went from petty crook to millionaire businessman and chairman of Darlington Football Club," said Peter Barron, former editor of the Darlington-based Northern Echo newspaper. "There are those who enjoyed his company, found him entertaining, and admired him for his self-belief, determination, and achievements in business. "However, there is also
