A biography for Glenn Murrayhasn’t been written yet.
“Players at the top level are generally more athletic, stronger and more thoughtful. They have a quicker turn of pace but more than anything they're clinical and decisive in their actions.”
“When a club shows interest and a manager wants you it is always nice.”
“The Championship is a really tough league with a huge prize at the end of it.”
“Players want a manager you feel in your gut you want to play for - they can have the best tactics and philosophy in the world but if you have lost a player in his heart or head, you have lost him in every other department.”
“I'd rather walk off the park with two goals instead of one.”
“No two managers are the same and I believe how players are man-managed on a daily basis has a huge influence on their performance on the field.”
“It took me a little bit of time in the Premier League. I came back from an ACL and got one goal in I think six months at Crystal Palace. It wasn't great but I got to grips with the Premier League, started to understand what it's about because it's very different to the lower leagues.”
“My time in non-league definitely grounded me and taught me to take nothing for granted - there was no glamour involved, that is for sure.”
“It just wasn't the right fit at Bournemouth. I wasn't suited to their style.”
“The lowest point in my non-league career came when I was a teenage substitute for Workington Reds in a game at Blyth Spartans, and some kids started throwing eggs at me and the other subs when we were warming up.”
“Scoring a goal is the best thing in the world because it's the only thing you can't control or predict.”
“I'm never going to be one of these players who dribbles past three and bends it into the top corner from 25 yards. That's not me.”
“It was good I left Brighton on a high, like I left Palace on a high but whether Carlisle to Rochdale or Brighton to Palace, as soon as I left that chapter was closed.”
“I had some great years at Palace, got supported really well by the fans.”
“I'm an out-and-out striker. It's my job to hold the ball up, to get in the box and to score goals. And, yes, I keep count.”
