Brighton striker Murray reveals Bruno inspiration

Brighton striker Glenn Murray says he's learned from fellow veteran Bruno.

35-year-old Murray will likely become the Seagulls' oldest player if Bruno departs this summer.

Asked if he was pondering life after playing. Murray replied: "I don't think you can take your focus off what we are doing at the minute.

"This league is obviously the best in the world and, if I start focusing on other things, that will be the end already.

"It is about focusing on the now and that will be each game and each season as it comes and trying to prolong my career as long as possible.

"Looking to Bruno, he has taught me the right way to do things and I will be trying to follow in his footsteps.

"Just how to age and how to, I suppose, defy the odds and keep your body going.

"It's more off the field than on the field.

"It's living a regimented life, diet, lifestyle, more work off the field than younger boys have to do.

"It's hard work but it is all worth it."
