Matt Murphy
| Date of birth | 20 August 1971 |
| Place of birth | Northampton |
| Nationality | English |
| Weight | 81 kg |
| Height | 1.83 m |
| Position | Midfielder |
After enjoying an excellent season with Oxford United in 1999-2000 Matt found things much tougher last term. Managerial changes and playing in a struggle side did not help him but he seemed to be to unable stamp his authority on games in the manner that he had previously done. Best used in a role just behind the front two or pushing through from midfield.
