Seen him in the reserves.
Neat tidy and a bit of skill.
Didn't stand out really , like Gary Jones, Buddy Coyle, Kenny at that level.
Bit of a sad tale with him , supposed to be left alone in digs and got really homesick , then got an injury.
Eventually went back home.
Notts forest , took him on trail , and wanted to sign him but we held his registration and wanted a fee so it never happened.
He was supposed to be really brilliant in Ireland, when we picked him up.

I had the identical reaction to Murray, I couldn't see what the fuss was about. I hope things panned out for him after the Everton interlude. Of the rest of your list, Billy Kenny was the real stand-out for me. I can't believe he didn't make a good career for himself. He did a lengthy interview a month ago, in which a lot became much clearer. It's well worth a listen:
