Maurice Murphy (1935-2010) resources
I hope to make this a reasonably comprehensive list of articles about and tributes to the great Maurice Murphy, who died on 28th October 2010. This resource is in development and is not yet "open" to the public, in the sense that it is linked as yet from nowhere.
Not all items listed are available online. I have tried to give a link that gets you as close as possible.
