A biography for Glenn Murrayhasn’t been written yet.
“I've had many strike partners over the years and usually their aim is to outscore you - and take great pleasure in doing so.”
“I watched 'Match of the Day' growing up every week and I'm talking until I was 29-years-old.”
“As far as I am concerned I just want to play games, score as many goals as possible, wherever that may be.”
“All goals are amazing. But scoring away from home, if I am honest, is extra special.”
“Chelsea is a club I've always had a soft spot for as they have kept faith with playing a traditional strong and physical No. 9.”
“Teams full of talent and top-flight experience know when to engage a tackle at crucial times, when to compete in an aerial duel or seize on a chance - often resulting in the net rippling.”
“When I was young, I would dwell on games and beat myself up about a result. I would lock myself away in the house, almost punishing myself and those around me.”
“I want to continue to play and score as many goals as possible for as long as possible.”
“That's something that drives me on - wanting to prove people wrong. Because the amount of people who have told me, 'no, you're not good enough.' A lot of people fall at that hurdle. But I just kept getting up and looking for that one person who said yes.”
“When I left Carlisle United for the first time at the age of 16 in 2000, I hated football.”
“I've had the privilege of playing in our top seven leagues and the main differences when stepping up are organisation, athleticism and decisiveness. Believe me, the gap is even more evident when you achieve the holy grail of the Premier League.”
“I am just a normal bloke. I take my kids to parties, put the bins out.”
“If there is ever one thing you learn as a professional footballer, you have a lot of critics and you have the chance to silence your critics.”
“The space between keepers and defenders is referred to as the 'corridor of opportunity' - a well-hit pass in there has the goalie questioning whether to come into traffic and defenders unsure of whether or where to clear the ball.”
“Playing in America led to me getting a chance. Kicking around in the non-leagues I was going nowhere so I'm glad I did it.”
“I am taking each game as it comes, enjoying it and taking that little bit of extra time to look around a full stadium, because I know it's not going to last forever. But I will try and make it last as long as possible.”
“As a teenager, I was in the Carlisle schoolboy scheme and while I was excited to join at first, I look back on it as a tough few years.”
“And I'm not the kind of person to just sit around.”
“I grew up desperate to be a professional footballer and I was willing to do anything to be one.”
“Rather than just sit there, I would prefer to get out and play football. Brighton have let me do that.”
