George Burke

George Humphrey Burke (18 August 1847 – 24 July 1920) was an English professional cricketer. He played one first-class match for Kent County Cricket Club in 1877.

Burke was born at Greenwich, in what was then part of Kent, in 1847. He was the son of Edmund and Harriet Burke (née Humphrey); his mother was originally from Westerham and his father was a dock labourer, the family living in Greenwich and in Plaistow, Bromley during Burke's childhood.

A right-arm fast bowler, Burke was employed as a professional cricketer. He had a number of appointments throughout the 1870s, most notably at Prince's Cricket Ground and The Oval, as well as at Dudley, and was "in demand" as a ground bowler.
