Football Question. What Would You Have Done?

[10ClarionSt]

There is a knock on your door. When you answer it, the person standing there is the assistant manager of Manchester United, Jimmy Murphy. He wants you to play in the first team for United in the next First Division fixture. The answer he got was "No thank you. I can earn double those wages laying bricks". It was in the days after the Munich crash. What would you have said?

A Good biography of Jimmy Murphy

// Nonetheless, Murphy knuckled down and bought and recruited a whole new team and quickly worked on them and attempted to create a cohesive unit.
