Murphy’s Mob followed the fortunes of Dunmore United – a (fictitious) fourth-division football team managed by the fiery, short-tempered Scotsman Mac Murphy (Ken Hutchison) – and their Junior supporters’ club, known as ‘Murphy’s Mob’.
Boxer (Keith Jayne), Wurzel (Lewis Stevens) and co were on hand to help Murphy and club chairman and ex-popstar Rasputin Jones (Terence Budd) sort out their beloved club’s problems.
Mac’s patient wife, Elaine, was played by Lynda Bellingham.
Created and written by Brian Finch and produced by Central Independent Television, the show was originally filmed at Watford’s Vicarage Road football ground and later at Derby County’s Baseball Ground stadium (because it was close to Central’s Birmingham studios).
Micky Dolenz, famously known as the drummer from The Monkees, directed multiple episodes of the series.
