Always was a massive fan of him. Remember he used to get absolute pelters on here for absolutely no reason. One of the most talented players we've had here.

I’d agree with that. No issue with Murphy as he was clearly a good player, but I think it changed the dynamic of the frontline who had gelled really well early on.
People saying about not being suited to the English leagues but he was brilliant for Plymouth the year before he left sure he got something like 17 goals.
Very good technical player. That Millwall performance along with Maddison, Armstrong and O’Brien was pure class.

Agreed. He rode a tackle well. Was hacked left, right amd Centre but never feinged or faked injury or bottled tackles or challenges. Sheff Utds left back should have had 3 red cards the night we played them on bad challenges on Lemeiras alone. But, somebody on twitter said its because he was lightweight so it must have been true.
Class player with an inch perfect pass (seen many a time splitting defences for Arma to run on to) and teams knew it amd tackled/kicked him out of the game. To say a player who is fouled a lot is lightweight is just ridiculous. Thats like saying O'Hare or Grealish are both too lightweight to play English football. Nonsense.

I think it was constantly playing Murphy that upset JOB which rocked the applecart and sent the wheels off. Murphy was an exciting player, bit fpr me should have been used off the bench against tired defenders. JOB was much more effective starting I feel.
Jesus. Think people are getting very carried away here.
He was okay most of the time and had moments of magic like that reverse pass for Armstrong that time. But I think people are remembering those moments and not the other 80% of the time where he was mediocre.
I remember that tackle got me out of my seat shouting at the TV (game was on SKY). An absolute straight red, but of course he only got a yellow.
Awful performance that day, and we had a goal chalked off (2 yards over the line)
