What a player. He defo had the touch of an angel, don't think I ever seen him miscontrol a ball or have a bad game.

SPL was a breeze for him. Even in the Premier League he looked excellent...just a shame about his injury.

One of my favourite ever Hibs players. Such a first touch, his use of the ball was great and he was solid. I'm sure he's been back up to games quite a few times since leaving so he obviously still has a soft spot for us.

I think he donated his signing fee to Hibs youth when he left.

I played football with him at school in Hartlepool, one game we won 8-7 and he scored all 8! Always had an amazing first touch and temperament, never got flustered

Best LB I have seen play for Hibs. A superb player, made everything look so easy.

I’m my top 5 beside Riordan, Boozy, Stevenson and Gray. Absolute class.

Must’ve easily seen at least 90% of his games for us and he genuinely didn’t have one poor game.

My support and admiration of all things Lewis goes way, way back.

I love Lewis but Murph is the best left back I've ever seen play for Hibs. What a touch he had.

One of my all time favourites. Absolutely superb player.

Murphy was tough but classy. Wish I’d seen shades as it seems he is the only left back who could compare.

He just oozed class.


Some players just have it , David Murphy had it in spades

Anyone else remember ‘that’ tackle on the Dundee United player right in front of the East?

It was like a tribute to Shades, it was that hard. Magnificent.

Classy guy on and off the park it seems.

Who is that to the right of him in the photo on the site though?
Thanks

One of my favourites too. What a guy.

As an earlier poster said only bettered by Schaedler in my 50 odd years of watching Hibs

Honourable mentions for Laursen and Stevenson too but neither IMO as good as those two

Murphy could easily have been a better player than Erich but I absolutely loved Erich as a player and could never choose anyone ahead of him

Other than a slight lack of pace Murphy had everything and if he had had that pace would IMO have been a worthy challenger for Cole & Bridge for England

I think he suffered the injury that finished his career pre Hibs and whilst it eventually finished his playing career have no doubt it held him back during his career too.

Great player, hard as nails and loved Hibs

What a player. If was a yard quicker would have played very top.Best first touch I've seen. Always took ball in stride.

I put David Murphy alongside Erich Schaedler as the best left back I have witnessed play for our beloved club.
Who can forget those first touch/kill-the-ball pieces of magic and those wonderful bursts down the left, as well as his goal efforts. The guy was class through and through and an absolute gentleman to boot.
Bless you David in all that you do.

Murph = Hibs class

Couldn't agree more, he was a brilliant player who always gave his all too. Players like that are quite rare these days, so many young players could learn an awful lot from David Murphy.

Sweet Left Peg.

His first touch was so good that he was looking to where his second touch would be before he received the ball. One of the best.

On top of being an outstanding footballer, he’s an absolute gentleman off the pitch too.

Finest left back I've seen in a Hibs shirt. To think me and my old man wrote him off on his debut against Leeds for being slow and overweight 🙈

Murphy was tough but classy. Wish I’d seen shades as it seems he is the only left back who could compare.

I saw the Tornadoes and in my view better than Shades who was solid and bit more pace but Murphy better touch and delivery. Brownlee better than both.

Incredible left back and I loved Schaedler in The Tornadoes too.

I’d say Murphy just pips him as the best left back I’ve seen play for us.

He was a player that you could guarantee would turn in at least an 8/10 performance week in week out, can't honestly remember a bad game from him.

Brownlie was just on another level. Greatest young player I’ve ever seen until that horrific leg break. Tragic.

Murph is the only player comes close to Schaedes - but being brought up on the Tornados I would say that. David was a better all round footballer but Erich.... No 1.

As a full back, though..... [emoji7]

And my daughter loved his bum......

He had the phenomenal ability to tackle a player, take the ball and change direction with the ball at his feet in one seemless action. I’ve not explained that very well but i don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone else do it

One of the things that clearly show the disparity in valuations of players just because they play for Celtc or Rangers (as they were at the time), was the difference of the fee for Hutton going to Spurs and Davids move to Birmingham at roughly the same time. Better in defence and waaay better going forward. Still can't believe Hutton went for the money he did

Fondly remember his goal at Parkhead when he played a one two with benji and smashed it in. Also scored a nice headed winner versus the Huns at Ibrox.

He was the guy that really could have opened a tin of beans with his left foot. If he ever felt inclined to.
