I truly believe we owe our existence since Munich to this man. A statue would be a small thank you.

I feel a debt of gratitude and a Show of deep respect are due to this amazing man. His Story should be made known to future Generations who follow our great Club.

Jimmy Murphy is a legend!!!!

Jimmy Murphy stepped in when it was the club's greatest hour of need. Without Jimmy it is debatable as to whether Manchester United Football Club would have survived. I would like to see him honoured with a statue at Old Trafford.

(Wigan, 2017-02-07)

#15

He kept Manchester United going after Munich and should be honoured for his great efforts to keep going in the aftermath.

(Salford, 2017-02-07)

He fully deserves the recognition!

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

Everything Jimmy Murphy has done for Manchester United he deserves a statue as recognition

(Dublin, 2017-02-07)

When all was falling around him this man helped pick up the pieces of United's decimated team and rebuild it with Sir Matt Busby’s into the greatest club in the world

(Salford, 2017-02-07)

Jimmy Murphy is a United Legend and Hero who took over the reins after Munich and held the club together, was also Sir Matts right hand man for many years, he helped to nurture the Babes and is Loved by many

The man was immense in keeping the club going after the crash..without him lets be honest ..whi knows what wouldve become of our magical club

(Dublin, 2017-02-07)

#24

Jimmy Murphy, simply, was one of the most important figures in the history of Manchester United.

(Norwich, 2017-02-07)

#25

Its long overdue

(Stretford, 2017-02-07)

#26

A proper United legend

(Wigan, 2017-02-07)

#27

Without Jimmy Murphy there wouldn't be an MUFC, legend

(Vlaardingen, 2017-02-07)

#30

Jimmy Murphy without question should have a statue erected alongside Sir Matt Busby... An plus the Babes should be also honoured in such a way...

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

#31

Without SIR jimmy what would have happened?

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

#32

This man along with Sir Matt and Sir Alex made Manchester United Football Club what it is today.

(Salford, 2017-02-07)

#33

This man kept our wonderful club going through the dark days of Munich we wouldn't be the club we are today without him.

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

#35

Jimmy Murphy is a big part of the Manchester United history and a statue is the least he deserves, without Murphy we wouldn't have the Manchester United we know today

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

#36

I'm signing because it is the right thing to do.

(Stafford, 2017-02-07)

#38

if it wasnt for jimmy murphy keeping the flag flying after munich we wouldnt of got to wembley, the man is a legend

(manchester, 2017-02-07)

#39

He was Manchester United after the disaster and he rebuilt the club himself. Without him there may not be a club and definitely not the most famous team in the world

(Salford, 2017-02-07)

#41

He has to be honoured.. It's long overdue

(Mumbai, 2017-02-07)

#42

This great man deserves to be honoured and recognised for his unquestionable service and love for the club.

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

#43

This is something that should have been done a long time ago

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

#45

Jimmy Murphy deserves this!

(Lilburn, 2017-02-07)

#47

Because it should not have taken this long for the club to recognise what he did

(Barnsley, 2017-02-07)

#48

Murphy bought this club to were it us now Murphy statue should have been along side sir mates yrs ago

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

#51

This person deserves to be recognised for his hard work, passion and amazing achievements, without him the club would not be who they are today.

(Corby, 2017-02-07)

#52

This is long overdue for a man who gave his life to the Club, and who was so snubbed by them after he retired. Jimmy's part in the Busby Babes story cannot be overstated, and his phenomenal job in keeping the club going after Munich was more than outstanding. There are people who have been recognized in one way or another by the club over the years, but none of them hold a candle to Jimmy.

(Humble, 2017-02-07)

#54

Without his incistence there would be no Manchester United today

(Ipswich, 2017-02-07)

#55

Im signing because without jimmy our club wouldnt be were it is today

(Derry, 2017-02-07)

#56

A true club legend who should be honoured.

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

#58

Jimmy was the backbone of the team and never took any of the glory in keeping the team afloat after munich

(Stafford, 2017-02-07)

#59

Quite frankly, it's the least he deserves.

(Salford, 2017-02-07)

#61

I am signing this because jimmy was Manchester United at this terrible time in are history, he kept the club going .

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

#63

He is The Unspoken Hero of MUFC.

(SK16 5HH, 2017-02-07)

#64

Without him Manchester United wouldn't be here today

(Taunton, 2017-02-07)

#65

Because the work he did post Munich to keep the club going deserves recognition. It is not an exaggeration to say were it not for Jimmy Murphy, Manchester United as we know it todat would not exist.

(London, 2017-02-07)

#66

I feel without this man there probably would be no manchester united today

(Bolton, 2017-02-07)

#68

Jimmy Murphy is the forgotten man of Manchester United

(Bolton, 2017-02-07)

#69

I believe we would not have the club we have today without the hard work Jimmy Murphy put in after the air crash. Personally I think we should have a statue stood next to Sir Matt.

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

#76

Jimmy Murphy single handedly kept the club afloat during such an horrific period in its history. I truly believe that without this mans input and leadership the club we know today as Manchester United may not exist. A lot is written about this club, my club, around that time but in my honest opinion he is not given the credit that is fully deserved! Assembling a top flight team and leading them to Wembley during such a tumultuous time is unheard of! The clubs YPOTY is not enough recognition for this great great man!

(Dublin, 2017-02-07)

#79

I'm as season ticket olderfor last 21 years but been most of my life and for my dad who recently past away who used to go to all the games to see the busby babes and told me all about jimmy Murphy what he done with out doubt in the dark days off united he needs statue

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

#81

Jimmy Murphy should be recognised for all his work and unabridged commitment to Manchester United ....he is why Manchester United are loved and adored .

(Leicester, 2017-02-07)

#82

I think he did as much if not more than Sir Matt and should be recognised for it

(Salford., 2017-02-07)

#83

This is an important part of the club history.

(Atlanta, 2017-02-07)

#85

This man rose us from the ashes whilst grieving players he nurtured like his own sons

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

#89

From what I've heard Jimmy kept the club together post Munich

(Fleetwood, 2017-02-07)

#92

There is a strong case to state that there would be NO United without this man. Legend.

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

#96

Jimmy Murphy was and is a united hero and legend full stop!

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

#97

I agree wholeheartedly

(Blackpool, 2017-02-07)

#99

Without Mr Murphy there is a very real possibility That the club would have ceased to exist in the aftermath of Munich. Recognition is long overdue.

(Haalingden, 2017-02-07)

#100

I think this is a perfect petition for a great man. And he did this for my great club.

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

#101

But for his Herculean efforts we may not have been had the history that we are now so proud of. No Fergie, Best Law or even Charlton. we have known such riches since 1958.

(Nottingham, 2017-02-07)

#107

This man must not be forgotten. MUFC's history is paramount

(Grantham, 2017-02-07)

#108

Knowing the story of Mr Murphy, having read his biography "Matt, United and Me" his memory must be acknowledged by the football club in a very public and fitting manner.

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

#110

He kept our much loved club alive. Without him Manchester United would have closed after the Munich air crash. Instead, he insisted to the board that the club, players and staff were to go on

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

#111

No Jimmy - no MUFC!

(Nantwich, 2017-02-07)

#112

The club did the dirty on him and taking Wales to the World Cup.

(London, 2017-02-07)

#115

Jimmy Murphy's efforts after the Munich disaster is one of the building blocks that made United the club it is today. He rightfully deserves to be recognised. It would be great if the statue was at the Cliff where he helped shape the Babes and future teams.

(Salford, 2017-02-07)

#116

Jimmy Murphy kept this club alive, in its darkest hour jimmy stood up and demanded that this great club wouldn't die , without him , I don't think manchester united would still exist. We owe him EVERYTHING .

(shrewsbury, 2017-02-07)

#118

I grew up in Manchester and know for cetain that without Jimmy the club would not have have survived and thrived as the team we know now after the tragic aircrash at Munich

Without Jimmy Murphy, Manchester United probably wouldn't have survived.
He deserves some recognition.

(Salford, 2017-02-07)

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

#129

Without him there would be no Manchester United

(Manchester, 2017-02-07)

#130

I believe that Jimmy Murphy was instrumental in bringing Manchester United "back from the dead" following the horror of the Munich Aur Crash. I believe his actions were extraordinary and went way beyond the call of duty.

(Rossendale, 2017-02-07)

#133

Jimmy Murphy deserves a statue as much as anybody else kept the club going and wouldn't let us give up

(london, 2017-02-07)

#136

There would be no united without mr jimmy murphy he kept united alive

(Monmouth, 2017-02-07)

#137

I believe that Jimmy Murphy should get proper recognition for the work he did for the club not only in keeping the team going post Munich, but the role he played in the nurturing of the babies before

(Potters Bar, 2017-02-07)

#139

A true unsung hero who deserves full club recognition

(manchester, 2017-02-07)

#143

Without Jimmy Murphy, United would not have become the club they are today. His work with Matt Busby and beyond Sir Matt's time as a scout mean that he was without question a legend at Manchester United, and loved by all the United family that cherish the club history.

(CHATTERIS, 2017-02-07)

#144

(abergavenny, 2017-02-07)

#148

I'm signing because I think it would be a fitting tribute to a relatively unsung hero .

(Altrincham, 2017-02-07)

#149

There are no doubt many other more eloquent than me that will give great reasons for the club to establish a permanent memorial to Mr.Murphy, so I'll not drag on.
Just to say that without Jimmy Murphy, who knows what state we would be in, even now. And it's debatable if there would be a club to support. He's as important to our club as Busby, Ferguson, Gibson. Please consider this.

(Castledermot, 2017-02-07)

#150

Without the efforts of Jimmy Murphy, things could well have been different for Manchester United Football Club. This gentleman helped us through our darkest days on and off the pitch. Please give him the recognition he deserves. Jimmy was, is, and always will be our Phoenix rising from the Ashes. GGMU
