Bobby Murdoch Interview - March 2000

Graeme Souncess footballer ex Middlesbrough football club past captain

Bobby Murdoch was a big, strong player who won the praise of some of football's top names and was Scottish Football Writers' Player of the Year in 1969.

He initially joined Celtic in August 1959 and became a permanent member of the Parkhead staff in 1961.

Soon after Jock Stein took over at Parkhead, he made the inspired decision to move Murdock from inside-right to right-half, where he became the anchor man of the celebrated Celtic side of the 1960's.
