George Roper
George Roper (15 May 1934 – 1 July 2003〔(''George Roper – Obituary'' ), ''The Independent'', retrieved 06-10-10〕〔(''George Roper – An all-round stand-up comedian, he never stopped performing'' ), ''The Guardian'', retrieved 06-10-10〕) was an English comedian, best known for his appearances in the long-running UK television series ''The Comedians''.
== Early history ==
He was born George Francis Furnival in Liverpool to a working class family of Irish descent, to parents who were staunchly Roman Catholic.〔 In conversation with the writer Ken Irwin in 1972, he remarked that "the rough and ready upbringing of Catholics in Liverpool brings out the humour in a family":
He's another comic who has known poverty. There were five children in the Roper family, three girls and two boys. Dad saw a lot of life – he was a window cleaner. 'Times were hard when I started at school, in the early war years,' says George. 'We never went without, but a jam butty was often a meal'.
He left school at the age of fifteen to join the Merchant Navy as a galley boy, then as steward.〔 Later he served his National Service in the Royal Air Force (RAF), based in Eindhoven in the Netherlands.〔 It was during this period in the Netherlands that Roper began to sing with big bands at RAF concert parties.
He married Linda Groves in December 1968, and they had three children: Nicholas, Louise and Matthew.〔
