Player profile

 

"Super Dan" was capped for England at schoolboy and youth levels, and made his full League debut with Crewe in January 1994. He was a very experienced twenty-year-old, having played 132 matches in the Football League, when he arrived at Roy Evans' Liverpool in July 1997. The attacking midfielder who was a scorer of spectacular goals wanted to get off the mark on his Liverpool debut against Wimbledon but was beaten to the spot by another youngster. "I tried to take that penalty, but Michael Owen took it instead. I don't think I scored again for two-and-a-half or three years!" Indeed Murphy struggled to find his feet at Liverpool, frequently employed up front which made his lack of goals the more frustrating. Lack of opportunities under Houllier forced a loan move back to Crewe in February 1999. Once Murphy returned he finally got his long-awaited goal and then added another in a 5-1 win over Hull in the League Cup on 14 September 1999. "Late in 1999 we tried to advertise for him to go, but no club would take him," said Houllier when he reflected on this difficult time in Murphy's career. "So I said to the Board 'Well, we will keep him then. He is still young and I will talk to him.' Only then did Danny realise he was not helping himself. I am pleased Danny started to do things the right way because then I knew he would become a great player for Liverpool."

 

In the 2000/01 season Murphy's fortunes at Liverpool turned around and he scored an impressive tally for a midfielder, ten goals in 47 matches, and started both in the UEFA and FA Cup finals having missed the League Cup final through injury. Murphy also made his full international debut against Sweden in November 2001 and altogether made nine international appearances of which eight were friendlies and only one start. Murphy only missed four League games over the next two seasons and was voted the club's best player by Liverpool fans in 2002/03 when he contributed 12 goals. Houllier was more than pleased with his progress "He's definitely not the sitting midfielder, but otherwise he can play anywhere across the midfield," Houllier said. "He's been playing very well this season, creating chances and scoring, too. What I like most about him is the fact that he shows for the ball, asks for the ball, and always wants to be involved. I don't like players who bottle out, and Danny is a fighter."

 

The 2003/04 season was a big disappointment for everyone including Murphy who started 28 games compared with 55 in the previous campaign. Once Houllier had departed it was altogether clear that Benítez wanted to revitalize the midfield and deemed the 27-year-old surplus to requirements, a harsh treatment of an excellent player like Murphy who could have been vital to the club for years to come. Murphy will certainly forever be cherished among Reds fans for the three goals he scored at Old Trafford, each resulting in 1-0 victories. In December 2000 Murphy's free-kick inflicted United's first defeat at home for two years and Liverpool's first away win over United for ten years! The following season Murphy was at it again, ensuring Liverpool's fifth consecutive win over United five minutes from normal time. Two years later Liverpool were awarded a penalty by Mike Riley at Old Trafford after an hour's play and Murphy stepped up to the spot and scored with confidence. In fact, Murphy scored from all of his eight penalties in his time at Liverpool. In August 2004 Murphy moved to Charlton, preferring them to Tottenham where he couldn't be guaranteed first-team football. Soon after Murphy's departure Benítez brought in Xabi Alonso and Luis Garcia making it pretty clear that if Murphy had stayed he would have been a squad player rather than a starter. Murphy played 64 games and scored ten goals for the Addicks in one and a half seasons before eventually moving to Tottenham in the last hour of the last day of the transfer deadline in January 2006.

 

Murphy spent only one full season at White Hart Lane before agreeing to join another London club, Fulham, in August 2007. Lawrie Sanchez had been the manager when Murphy signed, but he was replaced by Roy Hodgson. In a season of struggle Murphy scored the only goal of the game when Fulham won at Portsmouth on the final day of the season which saved the Cottagers' Premier League status. His most memorable season at Fulham was no doubt 2009/10 when the west-London club finished the League season in a comfortable twelfth place but also, against all odds, progressed right the way through to the first-ever Europa League final in Hamburg, where they were narrowly beaten 2-1 by Liverpool's semi-final conquerers, Atletico Madrid. Murphy, named as captain by Hodgson before the start of the 2008/09 season, was a stalwart for the club in the five years he stayed there. Murphy's Fulham contract expired at the end of 2011/12 and the 35-year-old joined recently-relegated Blackburn. Murphy has been a co-commentator on Sky Sports for a few years now and seems ideal for the job as well as being a deep thinker of the game that might go into coaching or management.

 

Even in his thirty-sixth year, Murphy showed that he was still capable of performing at a good level. Blackburn Rovers had a largely disappointing season in 2012-13 but the midfielder's experience was crucial in helping his club to finish in 17th position but only four points above the third relegation place. Murphy appeared in thirty-three of the forty-six Championship matches and added two more to his total in the FA Cup. Although he had signed a two-year contract with Rovers in 2012, the Lancashire club decided to release him from that contract at the end of its first year, making the 36-year-old a free agent.

On 10 October 2013 Murphy officially announced his retirement as a player.

Дани Мърфи: Време е Бенитес да си ходи

Един от емблематичните футболисти на Ливърпул в последните 20-ина година - Дани Мърфи, заяви, че Рафаел Бенитес трябва да напусне Анфийлд.

 

Настоящият капитан на Фулъм смята, че разочарованието при червените е твърде голямо и е време Бенитес да си ходи.

 

„Ако ме питате, Ливърпул трябва да си намери нов мениджър" - каза Мърфи - „Нищо лично към Бенитес, независимо, че ме накара да напусна клуба в момент, в който не исках да го направя.

 

„Не казвам, че е лош мениджър, но през последната година тимът не се е развил, а обратно - върви назад."

 

„Винаги съм бил фен на Ливърпул. Поддържам връзка с доста хора там и мисля, че им е дошло времето за нов мениджър", категоричен е Дани Мърфи.

Murphy signs for BlackburnTwo-year deal at Ewood Park for former Fulham skipper

Last Updated: June 25, 2012 11:18am

 

Danny Murphy has joined Blackburn on a two-year deal after leaving Fulham on a free transfer.

 

Murphy was out-of-contract at Craven Cottage, although Fulham boss Martin Jol had expressed a desire to keep his captain at the club.

 

The 35-year-old is also believed to have attracted late interest from Queens Park Rangers but has opted to drop down to the Championship with newly-relegated Rovers.

 

The acquisition of the former England midfielder represents something of a coup for much-maligned Blackburn boss Steve Kean as he attempts to rebuild the club following a traumatic Premier League campaign.

 

Kean told Blackburn's official website: "Being able to bring Danny on board is a massive boost for everyone and I couldn't be more delighted.

 

"His record is there for all to see. He is a model professional, who has a real hunger to keep playing football and we are thrilled he has decided to commit his future to us. This is a pivotal signing for us."

 

Murphy has ties in the North West having played for Liverpool from 1997 to 2004.

понеже сега чета автобиографията на Капитана ни и съм някъде до требъла през 2001 и точно в тази глава, Стиви ясно описва близката си връзка с Дани Мърфи и колко много съжалява, че е бил продаден на Чарълтън ........

[Гост Scarface]

Happy Birthday Danny, you are legend ♥♥ ♥ YNWA!!!

Е това ми беше любим играч. Няма да простя на Рафа, че го продаде. Как шиеше мангалите, ах... безценно... Жив и здрав да си и успехи в новия живот!

[Гост Stojkica]

Е това ми беше любим играч. Няма да простя на Рафа, че го продаде...

 

За 3 млн ... А после купи аквалангчето за 20 ...

 

Как шиеше мангалите, ах... безценно...

 

Мисля, че няма друг играч, който е вкарал 3 гола за 1-0 на торището. Няма как да не е любим играч.

 

Аз ще го запомня с постоянството му. Когато играеше винаги знаеш колко силно ще играе. Нямаше мега силни мачове, нямаше и слаби. Винаги на едно ниво.

[Гост Red One]

И колко години след това игра на познатото си ниво. И продължи да шие мангалите...

[Гост Prospero]

И аз мен беше един от любимците. Благодарим за службата и YNWA! :)
