Celtic legend Bobby Murdoch, one of the club’s famous Lisbon Lions, joined Middlesbrough in 1973 after eleven years with the Glasgow club.
Murdoch would make 125 appearances for Boro between ’73 and ’76 after joining on a free transfer under Jack Charlton, and advised one of their future stars Graeme Souness as the club were promoted to Division One in his first season.
When he retired in ’76 he went straight into youth coaching with Middlesbrough, and had a brief spell as manager between 1981 and 1982 which ended in relegation and Bobby leaving the club to become a publican.
