Adam Our Physio

Mendonca In Asdas

Apologies if I’ve missed this, but I’ve had man-flu.

 Announced by the club this week as our head of physio, what happened to the Danny Murphy fella, please s he still at the club, and if he has left how long has he been gone?

Given the amount of injuries / players not being fit and up to speed, could this be the reason why?

His wife made him go to Tottenham

Easy new song for Adam when he runs on the pitch, as we used to do for Erhan our physio when CP was boss.

I really miss the tubby bloke we had when we were in the Premier League. In response to the predictable "who ate all the pies" chants, he used to pull a pie out of his bag and chuck it into the Covered End.

Wasn’t he a physio and goalkeeper coach?

Does anyone know, or are we all in the dark?

LinkedIn suggests Danny Murphy stopped working with/for us in the summer:

Which begs the question why it's taken so long to give Adam the job, if Murphy left in July

No idea. It was peak Curbs era, and I can't remember who our goalkeeping coach was then.

That says he stopped working for us in Jul 2020 not 2021...

He only took the Head Physio job in December 2020

Early bird offer which couldn't be redeemed until this weekend??

Presumably he was a consultant for a while until we got someone else in place.  It would appear Adam is that man

I think that was Mick Cole. @MrLargo is talking about Andy Jones

All a bit confusing as this article says Danny Murphy was consulting before getting the job full time and thanked Adam Coe for covering. Now Adam Coe is doing the job and presumably Murphy has left

Mendonca In Asdas

I wondered if Danny had been pinched by Ipswich or Wigan, knowing our luck!

I’ve heard there was discontent in the department when Ged Roddy appointed his wife to the head physio role, so they came up with a scheme to call her Adam.

Yep, FA pointed out the same, strange though, the DM article said he returned to the club in 2020, whereas the above suggests 2019, etc.

It's right, he had a spell with us when ESI owned the club. Years before that he was a physio in our academy.
