Yes Murphy suggests Ferguson is struggling 'Carrying a leg' around twenty seconds before he goes half the length of the pitch to score.

Murphy commentating on Grandstand years ago about the distance the ref was taking the defending team back...." Well if that`s 10 yds I would n`t want him fitting a carpet in my front room".
