Murphy's Mission is a rollercoaster ride through the life story of a journeyman, football manager, legend, and self-styled bard of the beautiful game. From a career with 15 different clubs from the 1970s to the early 2000s, Colin Murphy's biography is crammed full of dressing room high jinks, boardroom bust-ups, rescue missions, and scouting for non-league gems. Described by John Inverdale as 'one of my favourite people in sport ever', Murph was called The Saviour (Lincoln City), The Unsung Hero (Hull City), and The Mad Man (Southend United).

An antidote to the excesses of the Premier League, real football fans will love this meticulously researched story of hard graft and survival against the odds. Extracts from Murph's madcap programme notes, and original interviews with former colleagues, including Roy Hodgson, David Pleat and Howard Wilkinson, bring the wit and wisdom of this much-loved character to life.

Murphy's Law
Author: Jack Murphy
Publisher: Threshold Editions
ISBN: 150119125X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 5
Book Description
“Sure to go down as an important piece of military-memoir history…a fast-paced, insightful, hold-nothing-back memoir” (Brandon Webb, former Navy Seal, New York Times bestselling author) from a former Army Ranger sniper and Special Operations weapon sergeant-turned-journalist about the incredible highs and devastating lows of his career. Growing up in small New York towns, Jack Murphy knew he wanted to lead a life far from the ordinary—a life of adventure and valor. After the 9/11 attacks, he enlisted in the Army, knowing this was his chance to fight for a cause he staunchly supported. After making it through the rigorous Ranger Indoctrination Program, he graduated from sniper school and was promptly deployed to Afghanistan, where his experiences went from ordinary to extraordinary. In this gripping military memoir, Murphy recounts the multiple missions he underwent as a Ranger, a Special Forces weapons sergeant, and ultimately, a boots-on-the-ground journalist. From enemy ambushes, dodging explosives, crashing terrorists’ weddings, and landing helicopters in the streets of Mosul, Jack provides a hard-hitting glimpse of what combat is like in some of the world’s most dangerous, war-torn places. With tours of duty in two of the most decorated units of the armed forces, Murphy brings a unique perspective to the military genre as he reflects on his great triumphs and shattering failures both on and off the battlefield. Later, Murphy turned his attention to breaking news within the military. His stories have taken him from Iraq to Switzerland, from Syria to South Korea. From crossing Middle Eastern borders in the dead of night, to rolling into an IED-laden zone, Murphy’s stories are always a thrill a minute. “Powerful. Gritty. Real. An absolutely captivating account of bravery and adventure” (Brad Thor), Murphy’s Law tells a story of intense bravery and sacrifice—both on and off the battlefield.
