Danny Murphy goes Full Circle with bet365 ahead of another Premier League weekend
Scoring a winner at Old Trafford or Goodison Park is about as good as it gets for a Liverpool player. But how about doing both? And how about doing one of them three times?
Danny Murphy sat down with Adam Catterall for the latest episode of Full Circle, revealing what he's reminded of no matter what corner of the globe he's in.
"I've been all over the world," said Murphy. "I'm talking deep in the Maasai Mara, the Indian Ocean with a little man of 75 on a rowing boat, the depths of Perth, and I've been continually asked about those goals [at Old Trafford] and how they feel.
"One of my best goals for Liverpool was the winner at Goodison; scored a worldie late on... and nobody's ever mentioned it or asked about it once."
Murphy was also a part of Liverpool's treble-winning team of 2000/01, despite two years earlier being shipped out on loan to former club Crewe, struggling to break in at Anfield, with the former midfielder revealing that a choice he made that season was the difference between him staying on Merseyside and leaving for pastures new.
"That season, Houllier basically gave me an option to go back to Crewe on loan who were bottom of the Championship, getting beaten every week," said Murphy. "I also knew about another option to go to Ipswich who were at the top of the Championship and I thought that would be better for me.
"I didn't know in that moment, but he was testing me, and I later found out from him that if I didn't go back to Crewe on loan, he would have sold me that summer. He wanted to see my appetite to play."

Despite missing out on the League Cup final win - the first leg of the treble - through injury, Murphy recalls a gesture made by Gerard Houllier which goes a long way to explaining why the Frenchman ranks as Murphy's greatest manager.
Murphy's impressive performances after the turn of the millennium left him on the fringes of the England setup, where he'd go on to make nine caps, being agonisingly ruled out of the 2002 World Cup with a metatarsal injury.
From the highs of a treble a year earlier, Muprhy had to deal with the heartbreak of missing out on a World Cup.
"I tried to be brave and style it out, said Murphy. "The problem I had is I had a couple of days from when I did the injury to getting the final scans and getting the confirmation of the metatarsal fracture, and then waiting to get the plane home.
"So I had to put on a brave face in front of the lads, and I remember vividly, getting in the car to leave the camp, the lads had all said goodbye, a few hugs and that. I got in the car, on my crutches, driving to the airport, and it just came out. It just came out."
Murphy talks about the highs, lows and everything in between in the latest episode of Full Circle, as we preview his former team’s odds ahead of the weekend below:

Bournemouth v Tottenham – Saturday 26 th Aug, 12:30
Spurs will be keen to maintain momentum after a tremendously entertaining win over Manchester United last weekend. That sort of relentlessness could guide them to another victory against Bournemouth on Saturday’s early Premier League fixture.
Albeit a few games into the new season, but there are already visible signs that the Ange Postecoglou is already having success implementing his style of play.
Like Tottenham, Bournemouth also made managerial changes with the arrival of Andoni Iraola. Similar to Postecoglou’s appointment, there’s a real hope the new arrival will be met with a new brand of football being played.
Besides losing the game, there were plenty of positives in Bournemouth’s performance against Liverpool last weekend.

Arsenal v Fulham – Saturday 26 th Aug, 15:00
Arsenal will stay in London again this week as they welcome Fulham to the Emirates Stadium after edging Crystal Palace last week.
Declan Rice received the plaudits for his performance in a hard-fought 1-0 win over Palace after the Gunners went down to ten players. Fulham suffered a 3-0 loss to Brentford, so will be hoping for a reaction against tougher opponents.
Fulham did get a valuable opening weekend win as they beat a lacklustre Everton, but after mixed results it could be a difficult fixture against last season’s runners up.

Newcastle v Liverpool – Saturday 26 th Aug, 15:00
It’s arguably the pick of the weekend’s fixtures as Newcastle host Liverpool on Sunday afternoon. Both sides have showcased attacking football in the early beginnings of the season, and it should serve up an entertaining encounter.
Liverpool proved to have the better of The Magpies last year with Klopp’s side winning both home and away games, but Newcastle have more of a settled side heading into their first meeting of the season.
As the rebuild continues for the Reds, Liverpool will hope things come together against a Newcastle side who narrowly lost against champions Manchester City last weekend.
