Keep - article notes that he won the PFAI Players' Player of the Year in 1983. Surely this alone is enough to make him notable. Other articles such as [1] [2] Nfitz (talk) 00:24, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per nom, player has not played in a fully professional league, nor played senior international football or appears to have garnered significant, reliable coverage for any other achievements. The additional sources provided above are both interviews from the website of a club for which he played and so are not useable to satisfy GNG as they are primary sources.

'* second link was cut-and-paste error (was actually first link twice!). There's other references [3] [4] in additon to far more when you start searching newspapers from the period of time he was actually playing at [5]. Nfitz (talk) 00:39, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete, sources provided by Nfitz are not independent of Murray or the clubs he's played for. It's possible there is coverage of his PFAI award since it pre-dates the Internet, but in lieu of evidence that such sources exist I don't think we can say he meets the WP:GNG.
