Neil Murphy

Neil Murphy Date of Birth: Jan 9, 1879

Born in Dublin in 1879, Neil was a brilliant, but erratic player who came to England to join Sheffield United in 1901 after starring for Shelbourne.

Not given a chance at Bramall Lane he joined QPR, becoming a terrace favourite as well as their first capped player when being picked three times for Ireland.

Coming to Luton in October 1906, the forward failed to live up to his earlier feats and was never a regular in the side. He went to Aston Villa at the season’s end but did not get a game there before a spell at Gainsborough then a return to Ireland with Bohemians.
