CHRISTLETON NEW SCENE

JUNIOR FOOTBALL CLUB

Danny Murphy (NewScene JFC Past Player)

A proud and prominent example of a player who represented the junior club as a NewScene player was Danny Murphy, without doubt one of the best football players to come out of Chester and regularly returns to help raise funds and present our junior players with their end of season trophies.

A player with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, Danny started his career at Crewe Alexandra Football Club.

Making his debut at sixteen years of age, Danny made an immediate impact scoring on his debut versus Huddersfield Town F.C. He continued to be a regular for Crewe with his final game being at Wembley in a play off final in which Crewe won.

Liverpool FC, then managed by Roy Evans, bought Danny for three million pounds and at the age of nineteen he had joined the team he had supported and watched as a child.

To date, Danny has made nine appearances for England and also played 249 times for Liverpool, scoring 44 goals, 3 being winning goals at Old Trafford. He was also a key member of the Liverpool FC treble winning squad.
