George Murray Fullerton (8 December 1922 – 19 November 2002) was a South African cricketer who played in seven Tests from 1947 to 1951. One of three children. Ian Fullerton, Gladys Fullerton and George Fullerton. Living family is large and lives in South Africa. Sadly not too many photos if him while playing. His brother Ian is the only sibling alive presently. All three siblings had children and how have grandchildren mostly in South Africa. Ian Ramsy Fullerton was 13 years younger than George Fullerton. Followed in George Fullertons foot steps, and almost achieved South African recognition until his right shoulder ligament was so badly injured it affected his bowling movements.

When George scored his highest score of 88, at Ellis Park while the new Wanderers stadium was being built, was caught mid-on by the Australian fielder named McCool, while trying to get his third 4th.

George Fullerton met Queen Elizabeth during a cricket game in 1947.
