A biography for Glenn Murrayhasn’t been written yet.
“I must be rubbish as I can only play one sport.”
“The archetypal No. 10 is a skillful player who is more interested in being in possession than tracking to get the ball back.”
“Eddie Howe was the most tactical manager I have worked under.”
“I feel every time I score I prove people wrong. People doubt me all the time. They do that to all players but for me it's, 'He's too slow, he's too old.' It annoys those people every time I score and it drives me on.”
“It is well-documented that Bournemouth like to play football. I think I can give them a slightly different dimension when the ball goes into the box.”
“I take heart from players around me.”
“Obviously, I don't have any real speed to work with so I have to use other things. The modern game is very speed based so as soon as managers see that you haven't got that pace it can be tough.”
“It's always nice to go and play the big teams at the big stadiums.”
“But I like Harry Kane's robustness and where Harry Kane's come from as well. He dropped down into the lower leagues and learnt his trade on loan.”
“I am what I am. I can't change that.”
“It was through the Hammerheads that I got a route into the professional game, via a trial at Sunderland from Mick McCarthy and then an invitation to come back to Carlisle in 2004.”
“The only thing that got me to believe in myself was scoring goals.”
“I can remember playing for Carlisle and just running around like a headless chicken telling the others boys not to worry, that I'd do their running for them. I was just so eager and so keen and desperate to be a footballer that I did that.”
“My wife is from Brighton so I got a bit of stick for going to Palace even though in my first three-and-a-half years at Brighton I didn't actually face them. So I don't think I completely understood the rivalry.”
“Obviously we've got a lot of science behind football these days and we've got a lot of people that can advise us on how best to look after our bodies.”
“Everyone just plays football, don't they? It is just part of life in England. Once I started I just totally got the bug and never lost it.”
“If you stop learning at any time, you start to fall down the leagues.”
“Anyone who's kicked a ball with their mates and played for their local club knows the buzz of being part of a team, playing without fear or pressure.”
“Let's face it, when you're a striker and the coach is playing you at left-back you know your time is up.”
“To play week in, week out is all I care about.”
