Summary
We’re back with the second part of our extended Ramble Meets… interview with former Liverpool, Fulham and England midfielder Danny Murphy! On today’s episode, we rejoin Danny’s story when he left Charlton and joined Martin Jol’s Tottenham.
Danny talks to Luke about how the initial differences with Jol gave way to problems in his family life that ultimately hampered his career in North London. He then swapped North for West, joining Fulham, and they reminisce about the club's journey to reach the 2009/10 Europa League final under Roy Hodgson. They also discuss what it’s like challenging a manager whose philosophy isn’t working, wonder whether he could have achieved more and remember Clint Dempsey’s unbelievable reaction to being told he’d been dropped on the day of that Europa League final.

| 0:29.4 | Alright, here we go. |
| 0:36.2 | And moving forward to Spurs, I mean, I might be wider than Mark here, but I don't have a huge amount of knowledge of the issue. |
| 0:41.0 | I see that you spend a year and a half at Spurs and there's no headline injury that I can find to speak up, |
| 0:47.5 | but you didn't play an awful lot of games or certainly not as many games as you'd like. |
| 0:50.9 | What was the reason for that, Dan, because you've said that there was no problem with Martin, |
| 0:54.5 | Joel, the coach and it wasn't anything to do with him. What was the... |

| 1:03.7 | Basically, I got there at the end of Jan, which was an ideal. |
| 1:07.7 | And then of course, they had a good side by the way and we're playing well. |
| 1:11.1 | It was only the end of the season, they lost a bit of form and we missed out. |
| 1:13.8 | So he brought me in then really to help the squad because they had Ed Gidavits, Michael Carrick, J.J. |
