A lot of teams have bogey sides that they hate coming up against.
Bolton and Spurs jump to mind as teams who Arsenal and Chelsea respectively drop points against more often than they ought to. But it’s rare that teams have bogey players.
Danny Murphy has arguably the bogey opponent for Manchester United over the years after the former Liverpool midfielder scored the decisive goal at Old Trafford on three occasions for the Reds.
Murphy must still have an inkling of that rivalry with United flowing through his veins which is why it would have been so difficult for him to sing the Red Devils’ famous anthem yesterday.
The 38-year-old was trying to leave Colin Murray’s talkSPORT show early so that he could make it to his son’s sports day but the host didn’t make it easy for him.

Murray gave the proviso that Murphy could leave if he sang along to “Glory Glory Man United” and, to be fair, the former England international gave it socks.
Having said that, we’re sure he spent the entire evening showering to get the shame off of him.
