He played twice for Wales during the Second World War internationals. He also served in the RAF. CareerGeorge Murphy started his footballing career in his native Wales with junior clubs Ponthlanfraith and Cwmfelinfach Juniors before signing for Bradford City in October 1934. He played in almost every position for Bradford under five different managers, particularly a centre forward and full back.[1] He notably scored 11 goals in 1936–37 and 15, including one FA Cup goal, in 1946–47. During the Second World War, he served with the RAF, guested for several clubs including Bradford Park Avenue and even set a wartime record by playing for eight clubs in just nine weeks,[1] and played twice for Wales. He remained at City for two seasons after the war, before being signed by Hull City in December 1947 for £1,500.[1] He spent just eight months at Hull during which time he scored nine goals in 15 league appearances. He left in August 1948 for Midland League side Scunthorpe United before spells at Scarborough, where he was the club's top scorer in 1949–50 with 31 goals, and Goole. He retired to become a publican in Humberside and then a club steward in Morley. He died through ill-health in December 1983 aged 68 at his home in Tingley.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite book|last=Frost|first=Terry|title=Bradford City A Complete Record 1903–1988|publisher=Breedon Books Sport|year=1988|pages=126|isbn=0-907969-38-0}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Murphy, George}}{{Wales-footy-bio-stub}} 11 : 1915 births|1983 deaths|Welsh footballers|English Football League players|Bradford City A.F.C. players|Hull City A.F.C. players|Scunthorpe United F.C. players|Scarborough F.C. players|Wales wartime international footballers|Wales international footballers|Association footballers not categorized by position |
