George Lloyd Murphy (July 4, 1902 – May 3, 1992) was an American dancer, actor, and politician. Murphy was a song-and-dance leading man in many big-budget Hollywood musicals from 1930 to 1952. He was the president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1944 to 1946, and was awarded an honorary Academy Award in 1951. Murphy served from 1965 to 1971 as U.S. Senator from California, the first notable U.S. actor to make the successful transition to elected official in California, predating Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is the only United States Senator represented by a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
George 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. 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, 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. 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 31goals, and Goole.
Murphy first ran for election as a Liberal candidate in the district of St. John's East in the 2003 general election where he placed second with 14.56% of the vote.
In November 2010 Murphy decided to leave the Liberal party and run for the NDP nomination in the Conception Bay East-Bell Island by-election. Murphy placed second and received 26.14% of the vote.
In the 2011 provincial general election Murphy ran as the NDP candidate in St. John's East. Murphy garnered 52.11% of the vote to win the seat.
On June 22, 2015, Murphy announced he is not reoffering in the 2015 election.

Working Class Hero George Murphy and The Rising Sons
Right folks here she is... The first track from our live album. Blown away by this to be honest. We've crossed Lennons Working Class Hero with the irish classic Spancil Hill. The lift when Tommys electric kicks in is fecking class but self praise is no praise... check it out for yourselves. Bang in headphones or put it through speakers. It guarantees not to disappoint. We removed the previous version we had up to replace with this because this has been mastered through the soundboard. Enjoy and please share folks.
Happy 80th Mr Lennon

George Murphy - House Of The Rising Sun | The Stable Sessions
The next instalment of the week is “House Of The Rising Sun”, a traditional folk song made popular by The Animals in 1964.
“This for me was the easiest choice of trad arr songs to pick, an absolute classic and a belter. A vocal you can really sink your teeth into without giving it all away too soon. A throwback to what my dad brought me up listening to and the great era of music that was the 60s when The Animals released this hit”

Lyrics:
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
