Steve Murphy
By JUSTINE
HEATH ERFORD
"Each Saturday, nine
months of the year, I play with
my soccer team (Rainworth).
I play midfield" explained
Steve Murphy, 25, an Irish
Englishman from New Ollal
ton, north of Nottinghamshire.
"I've been playing weekly for
eight years now."
Steve is visiting his
mother's sister, Kathy Jen
sen, and enjoying staying in
the Jensen mountain resi
dence in the Blake Ranch
community. Earl Blake is
giving him a guided tour
around Morrow County.
Sieve's Irish half comes
from his dad, a relocated
native of Kilkenny. Steve
completed high school and
then technical school and now
works in the field for which he
trained, carpentry and join
ery, However, he faithfully
spends two nights each week
training (practicing) with his
soccer team. They have a
loyal following of about 300
fans who attend all their home
and nearby matches. Steve
has played in West Germany,
in the Frankfurt area, with a
British team composed of
players from several teams
(maybe like our all-stars).
He flew from London's
Heathrow to Seattle on Fri
day, June 26, and came to
Heppner via Pasco. This is his
second summertime visit to
the U.S., and he says he will
stay about three weeks. Last

Mrs. Sargent says that the

extended to all seniors and
friends," said Mrs. Sargent.

year he visited the Jensens
while they lived in Medford
and also looked about in New
York, Virginia and Ohio. A
high spot of last summer's
visit was going to San Fran
cisco and getting reacquaint
ed with a first cousin whom he
had not seen since they were
little boys, 20 years ago.
Steve is acquainted with
several of the British players
on the Portland Timbers as
well as with several players on
the Anaheim Surf. He had
planned on going to visit in
California this year, but has
now decided to get back home
where his fiancee, Karen
Law ton, a very special medi
cal secretary, is wailing. His
grandmother, Florence Kemp
is planning to come to Oregon
again in August. Steve is
cutting his visit short so that
he can help finance his
grandmother's trip.
Kathy Jensen is very pleas
ed that her mother will be
traveling here with a long
time grade school friend of
Kathy's and the friend's
14-year-old daughter.
Steve says he is thinking
that he will visit the American
Embassy and ask about emi
grating. He believes that since
he is trained, is regularly
employed and has family and
friends here that he might be
able to move to this country
where the international sport
of soccer is really catching on
and where British players and
coaches seem to be in
demand.
