Murray recalled BBC Radio 5 Live: “It was back when Brighton had a lot of very good players who were yet to move on and James Milner had just joined the club.

“I was chatting to Milly one day and I said, ‘Who are you impressed by?’, bearing in mind there was a lot of stars in the dressing room that were already established in the Premier League and they were going to move on to better things.

“And he said Jack Hinshelwood, who hadn’t really made a first team appearance then.

“So it just shows what other pros think of him.”
