Danny Murphy England, Liverpool and Fulham football star

Danny Murphy began playing football with his three older brothers when he was just three
years old. He absolutely loved the game and played whenever he could. As soon as he was
old enough, he joined a cub scout team, progressing into other local teams as he got older.
At the age of 17, Murphy began a long career as a professional footballer, although he didnt
score his first goal in a professional team until a year later when he came on as a substitute
for Crewe.

The blanket of warmth that went through Murphy when he scored that first goal was
repeated many times in his football career. He was part of the Liverpool team that won six
trophies in a single year and reached his ultimate goal when he wore the England shirt for
the first time against Sweden at Old Trafford. Sadly, his family didnt see his England debut.
He later went on to be captain of Fulham during one of its most successful ever spells.

For Danny Murphy, winning the treble was his greatest footballing achievement.
