Alex Murphy Player Profile

By 19 the school-boy wiz had become the world's top half. With blinding acceleration, his complete self-confidence was matched by his ability to drive his opponents into frustration. A unique player who also possessed a swerve, kick, pass, sidestep and tackle to complete the package(from G.B Hall of Fame)
