George Millard King (June 21, 1896 – 1963) was an American college football player.
He was president of King Brothers Shoe Co. in Bristol, Tennessee until his death in 1963.
[2] Of the Georgia Tech team, the first national champion from the South and for many years considered the greatest football team the South ever produced,[3] whose closest game was a 32 to 10 victory over Davidson, King said “I consider Georgia Tech the best football team I have ever played against or ever expect to play against.”[4] One description reads "King's catch of a pass in the Georgia Tech game, with a gallop for a touchdown, was almost miraculous".
[5] King participated in one of the great upsets in Southern football history as the Wildcats bested the Auburn Tigers 21–7.
[6] King scored one touchdown off a muffed punt, and would've had another on a pass reception had he not fumbled the ball out of the endzone.
