Vintage Glenn has still got lots to offer

CLEVER STRIKER IS STEP AHEAD

- Adam Virgo

IT’S great to see my old mate Glenn Murray back amongst the goals at Nottingham Forest after a miserable six months on loan at Watford.

The 37-year-old joined the Reds from Brighton in January and opened his account with a brace in last weekend’s 3-0 win over Wycombe.

Glenn’s numbers over recent years speak for themselves. He got 13 Premier League goals in 2018-19. Twelve the year before that. Twenty-six when Brighton got promoted.

And I’ll be honest here when I played with Glenn at Brighton in 2008, I would never have guessed he’d become a double-digit Premier League striker.

Morose

He was very quiet in those days. When we used to go to the gym, he’d go and find a place to train on his own. He seemed so morose you sometimes wondered if he actually liked football, and I even asked him once! He does - he just keeps himself to himself.
