Murray Edward Fishlock (born 23 September 1973)[3] is an English former footballer who played in the Football League as a left back for Hereford United.[4]
Career
[edit]Fishlock was born in Marlborough, Wiltshire.[3] He began his football career as a junior with Swindon Town, but never appeared for the first team. He left for Gloucester City in 1992, where he made 74 appearances and scored 6 goals in all competitions. He joined Trowbridge Town in order to be nearer home and college,[5] but manager John Layton soon signed him for Third Division club Hereford United. He made his debut in the Football League on 1 October 1994 in a 2–1 home win against Scunthorpe United. He had three seasons in the Football League and one in the Conference with Hereford before moving to Yeovil Town.[6]
He played 57 games in all competitions for Yeovil, scoring twice,[7] and was capped for the England semi-professional representative team,[8] before suffering a back injury in a game against Dover Athletic in January 2000.[9] The injury would eventually force him to retire from the game, after two years on the sidelines[10] and a few appearances with lower-league clubs including Woking,[11] Melksham Town,[12] Chippenham Town,[13] and Pewsey Vale.[14]
From September 2005 to March 2014, Fishlock worked for the Football Foundation.
