Great read. Went to look at the comments and unsurprisingly it's hearts fans going on about 5-1 and 1902, they're so obsessed about reading and commenting on Hibs related articles it's embarrassing

**SaulGoodman** · 23-10-2014 04:47 PM

I love that man.

Ps, it wasn't a header from Jones in the cup QF, but we'll let him off

***woodythehibee*** · 23-10-2014 05:39 PM

Great guy and a fantastic footballer. Was a pleasure watching him.

**bigstu** · 23-10-2014 05:45 PM

Great player. A modern day Hibs legend

It's the same sad cases day in, day out, trolling on every Hibs article.

***Winston Ingram*** · 23-10-2014 06:08 PM

I joined Hibs.net that very day

I recently watched the highlights of a few of our derby wins of that era and the quality of football (from both sides) in some of those matches was superb - not surprising really considering the players we (and unfortunately they) had at the time.

**portyhibernian** · 23-10-2014 08:19 PM

Hope dangerous Dave can get up for a game at some point, great player for us remember being gutted when he was sold!

for the mutants looking in why dont you comment on 0-7 or 6-2 or 1986 or you're admin adventure the list is endless
so when you climb of you're high horse / sister give you're team the high 5

**NadeAteMyLunch!** · 23-10-2014 09:22 PM

Unbelievable player!

I've never seen anything quite like the Hearts trolls on the evening news/Scotsman stories. Genuinely one of the saddest things I've ever witnessed. There's football banter then there's that. No danger can any of them have jobs and they've certainly never been within touching distance of a ride

***givescotlandfreedom*** · 23-10-2014 09:52 PM

Murphy was a class act and hasn't been bettered in his position since. Don't worry about the comments below that's just their journos ;)

**Pretty Boy** · 23-10-2014 10:42 PM

David Murphy was a talented player who had all the attributes to play at a higher level, had it not been for injuries I don't think we would have been lucky enough to have him.

His biggest attribute though was that he 'got' Hibs. It meant something for him to play for us, his interview after the CIS Cup Final confirms that. Great player with a great attitude.

That was his biggest attribute along with his first touch. Oh my! That first touch!!

**MWHIBBIES** · 23-10-2014 11:54 PM

Those comments

Do they ever talk about something other than Hibs?

***.Sean.*** · 24-10-2014 01:22 AM

My favourite ever Hibs player alongside Boozy, Riordan and GOC.

It's a term that gets bandied about all too often but IMO he's a bona-fide legend. Genuinely never seen him have an off day.

**DarrenSQH** · 24-10-2014 07:21 AM

Good read. Went and watched the game back on YouTube. What a team that was.

Riordan was everywhere that day. You forget how good he actually was

***Craig_HFC*** · 24-10-2014 07:59 AM

My favourite Hibs player ever. Can't remember him ever having a bad game.

If he had had a bit more pace then he'd easily be playing every week in the Premier League for a big club. Possibly would have got a few caps for England too.

And his first touch...

Murphs was the perfect signing. Fitted in from the start, great ability, connected with fans , sold on for decent cash and didn't skittle off to the Old Filth .
Trolling Yams are just showing off about how quickly you can type with six fingers.

**Billychaotic182** · 24-10-2014 09:55 AM

The man is the best left back I've seen hibs have in my life time.

We had a thread about Murph a while back and most of the old timers reckoned he was better than Schaedler, who was pretty much adored by everyone.

There's definitely a good case for Murphy to be in an all time Hibs eleven

Cheers, ill have a swatch when i get home

**NadeAteMyLunch!** · 24-10-2014 03:32 PM

We never won as many trophies as we should have during that golden period but when that team look back on their careers in 10-15 years time, I guarantee they all have their time at Hibs as their highlight. Special times

***nonshinyfinish*** · 25-10-2014 11:03 AM

His attitude, his reading of the game, his consistency, and to quote J. Cummings, his 'touch of an angel'.

Undoubtedly a Hibs legend and certainly the best in his position in my lifetime.
