Quote Original Wolfie="Original Wolfie"Alex Murphy what a coach and player. What a character he was on the pitch, and still is off the pitch. My all time hero that guy.'"
Probably the greatest all round rugby player I ever saw but also one of the nastiest and underhand. The ultimate professional who would stop at nothing to get winning pay as easily as possible.

Undoubtedly an all time great but not the stuff of heroes in my book.
