Bert Murray

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albert "Bert" Murray (born 22 September 1942 in Hoxton) is a retired English footballer who played as a winger.

Murray started his career with Chelsea, and was an important figure in manager Tommy Docherty's "Diamonds" side of the mid-1960s, which won the League Cup in 1965 and narrowly missed out on FA Cup and League success. He made 183 appearances for Chelsea, scoring 44 goals.

Murray, along with several team mates, fell out with Docherty and was transferred to Birmingham City in 1966, where he linked up with ex-Chelsea team mate, Barry Bridges. He later played for Brighton and Peterborough United.

Since the early 1990's he has ran a pub (The Bull) in a south lincolnshire town (Market Deeping) near Peterborough.
