Murray reflects on his time at Palace and reveals post-retirement plans

Former Crystal Palace striker Glenn Murray recently announced that he has retired from football aged 37, bringing an end to an almost 20-year career.

Murray, who played 125 games for the Eagles and scored 47 goals after signing from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2011, sat down with the club to reflect on his time in south London and discuss his post-retirement plans.

The decision to retire was a straightforward one for Murray, as he explains: “I just sat down with my family and felt as though the time was right. The last two years haven’t been particularly good ones, especially without fans as well - that’s added into the mix.
