How can I find out information about my grandfather?

Question:

How can I find out information about my grandfather?

I was born and raised in the United States, but my grandfather (who I did not know) is from the UK. He used to play for Manchester United a loooooong time ago (I'm talking black and white pictures), but I don't know exactly when. His name was George Hobbins. Any ideas? Thanks!
