Jimmy Murphy (footballer)
James Patrick "Jimmy" Murphy (8 August 1910 – 14 November 1989) was a football player who made over 200 appearances for West Bromwich Albion and won 15 caps for Wales. He later became manager of the Welsh national team. Murphy is most famous for being a strong, influential figure at Manchester United from 1946 until the 1970s, as assistant manager, chief coach, reserve team manager and a full-time scout, although he disliked the limelight and preferred to work quietly behind the scenes. Following the Munich air disaster on 6 February 1958, Murphy temporarily took over as Manchester United manager until the end of the 1957–58 season, steering the club through its greatest crisis. Murphy had not been on the Munich aeroplane, as he had missed the trip due to managing Wales against Israel in Cardiff on the same night as the Red Star Belgrade versus Manchester United match in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. The victory for Wales over Israel that night ensured that Wales qualified for the 1958 FIFA World Cup in Sweden, the only FIFA World Cup that Wales have qualified for to date.
==Playing career==
Born in Ton Pentre, Rhondda, Murphy attended Ton Pentre Village School and as a boy played the church organ. As a youth he played football for Ton Pentre Boys, Treorchy Thursday F.C., Treorchy Juniors and Mid-Rhondda Boys and in 1924 represented Wales in a schoolboy international against England in Cardiff. He turned professional in February 1928 when he joined West Bromwich Albion as a 17-year-old.
Murphy made his debut in a 1–0 defeat away to Blackpool on 5 March 1930 and played one further league game during his first season. In the following season, 1930–31, West Bromwich Albion won the FA Cup and promotion from the Second Division, but Murphy had yet to establish himself in the team and again made just two appearances. He became a regular in the Albion side upon the club's return to the First Division; from 1931–32 to 1934–35 he appeared 149 times in league and cup, helping his team to achieve four consecutive top ten finishes, including fourth place in 1932–33. The 1934–35 season saw Murphy miss just one match all season, and he helped Albion to reach the 1935 FA Cup Final, which they lost 4–2 to Sheffield Wednesday.
Murphy played more than 200 times for Albion, before moving to Swindon Town in 1939, but the Second World War ended his spell at Swindon almost as soon as it had begun. Murphy was also called up to the Welsh national team during the 1930s, winning 15 caps.
