[Albion] Glenn Murray as legendary as Zamora and Ward - Elphick

[BevBHA]

Double figures for the season at the age of 34. Astonishing.

Isn't he now our all time top scorer? At a rate of 1 in 2?

Didn't he score the goals that swept us into the Championship with such aplomb?

Didn't he also score the goals that fired us into the top flight for the first time in 3 decades?

Consistently delivers and is, for me, easily a legend.

And sent another club into the PL with a huge goals tally.

He’s had a great career and keeps delivering.

Par for the games he's played and chances he's had. This isn't a charity team.

Let me just revive this.

Countless Murray goals during his first spell with us. He actually had pace and taunts Leeds fans.

Good find that mate

Arrogance. Didn't like a player asking for his next contract to be much improved on his expiring contract. Imagine, the temerity.

 

[Da Man Clay]

Great video. Forget how good Bennett was as well.

 

[MarioOrlandi]

Nothing to add, except remarkable.

Slade and Poyet gathered some quality players at that time, who later proved themselves better than League One. Incredible really with the low budget and modest scouting available. Murray, Crofts, Bennett, Calderon, Barnes, Wood on loan.

 

[Wardy's twin]

The bloke has been a brilliant signing...15 PL goals for £3 million possibly the best return on investment in PL for many years.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Can be mentioned in the same breath as wardy and lawrenson.

 

[Shooting Star]

Used to be one of my least favourite Albion players, now he is my favourite of them all. He is more than a legend now in my eyes.

 

[Wilko]

Been watching the Albion 34 years, I think Glenn is top of the tree now of my all time fave Brighton players.

 

[Tokyohands]

I consider him a Brighton ledge, he's done and continues to do so much for us each game. He's a horrible player to be up against even at his age. If he's too knackered to run onto balls late in the game he's still there niggling away at the opposition, winning us free kicks etc in important places. That is amazing commitment, he's incredibly hungry and a player we really do need on the pitch, quite an unusual player in that respect.

 

[the right footed denilson]

Saturdays penalty, ball grab, fist punch and sprint back to the centre circle sums him up. He's taken his game and us to another level- one that I'm sure many of us can't quite believe we're at.

 

[Deano's Invisible Pants]

Whereas Ward and Zamora tore up the lower divisions and attained cult status more or less as soon as they arrived, Glenn famously failed to clap the fans, sometimes appeared a bit casual on the pitch and sounded aloof when interviewed. He scored goals, but it took a couple of seasons before he really began to fire (in the 2010/11 League One title season). And then there was the Palace hiatus.

But his goals in the Championship and his form in the Premier League probably gives him the statistical edge over the other 2 more natural heros. Unlike Wardy and Bobby whose careers tailed off, Glenn has just got better with age and is now in the form of his life. He has acquired legend status over time - it has kind of crept up on us, but it is totally deserved.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Muzza is a legend.

 

[Husty]

You have to clap the fans to be a legend I am afraid.
