He really is our Grandee. Hopefully somebody could track down a relative of Bill Anderson next who many from my Dad's generation will/would tell you was our greatest but never got the recognition he deserved in an era of no frills and scant sentiment.

 

[German Imp]

Fantastic, only wish I could be there Saturday to applaud.

 

[The Imposter]

Utterly deserved.

Colin Murphy red and white army
Meant so much back in the day

 

[berksimps]

What a great scheme and a most deserving first member.

 

[DonnyImp]

Brilliant
The Stanley Unwin (look him up kids) of matchday programme notes!

 

[sedgleyimp]

Great stuff this.
We need a Murph's message in the programme this Saturday (or the Newport game)

 

[imps_joe]

Good stuff!

May as well induct Danny and Nicky already

 

[buckielugger]

are we allowed to have a big crowd outside the legends lounge to cheer Murphy on ?
Such a top top hero.

 

[buckielugger]

And hope posthumous heroes get listed too

Much deserved for a true legend!

Didn't have something similar back in the late 90s early 00s, Andy Graver, Tony Emery and a few others were inducted into that, any one else remember that?
Great honour for Colin, manager when I first started going and still IMHO manager of the best imps side I've seen.

 

[Chimpimp]

Fully deserved - provide us with the best team in my life time.
What could he have achieved if he had anything like the support from the city and board that we have today?

 

[clanford]

Great stuff. 79/80 was my first full season so Murphs great sides of that era are etched in my mind. Despite his health issues still attends regularly. Lovely man.

Just sorry GT cannot be here for the same honour.

Well deserved a true City great.

I think the way Danny and Nicky are going they will get their own golden throne to sit in The Hall of Fame.

Maybe they will get the first statue at the club.

Great manager,built a good side in the early eighties,followed by Murphys mission to get us back into the league. It was great seeing him lead Lincoln out at Wembley, a fantastic gesture.
