Having spent the majority of the previous 18 months sitting on his backside at Spurs, Murphy played like a man possesed in 2007/08
The former England man showed all his mettle during Fulham’s escapologist act in 2007/08.
Though his Craven Cottage stay has been an up-and-down affair, his form in the final few weeks of the campaign proved the former Liverpool, Spurs, Charlton and Crewe man – transferred three times for fees of £2 million and upwards – has plenty in his locker yet.
Blessed with a fine range of passing skills, he can play on the flank, in central midfield, or in an advanced position just behind the front men.
