Biography
Danny Murphy (born 18 March 1977 in Chester, Cheshire) is an
English football player. He is a midfielder and currently plays
for Tottenham Hotspur, having been transferred to Charlton
Athletic from Liverpool F.C. for £2.5 million on 10 August 2004,
and to Tottenham Hotspur on 31 January 2006 for £2 million.
He was previously a trainee at Crewe Alexandra where he was
developed by Dario Gradi into a player of real Premiership
quality. After signing for Liverpool, he did not break into the
first team squad immediately and returned to Crewe for a
successful period on loan. After the loan period ended, he
became a first team regular at Anfield.
He has been capped for England eight times and has scored one
goal.
In his first season at Charlton, Murphy struggled to recapture
the form that he had shown at Liverpool, however in the first
three months of the 2005/06 season he emerged as a viable option
for England once more, and also won the September player of the
month award, scoring several goals along the way.
On 31 January 2006, he was transferred to Tottenham Hotspur.
