Danny Murphy, a brilliant reader of the game, is a player that is seemingly always one step ahead. The Whites captain had another impeccable campaign in the middle of the park last season and was often the man that made the Whites tick with his ability to get on the ball and make things happen.
Having left Liverpool in search of first team football in 2004, the former England international moved south and spent time at both Charlton Athletic and Tottenham Hotspur.
However, after an indifferent year-and-a-half at White Hart Lane, he moved across the capital again in the summer of 2007 with a move to Fulham. Murphy’s subsequent time at Craven Cottage has been eventful to say the least.
Having already cemented his name in the Club’s history books with that headed goal at Fratton Park on the last day of the 2007-08 season he took his own and Fulham’s game further the following season (08/09), steering the Whites to seventh in the league table and securing European football for only the second time in the Club’s 130-year history.
Last season Murphy was once again at the heart of Fulham's impressive form in the Barclays Premier League and played a true Captain's role in the Club's remarkable European adventure to the Final in Hamburg.
