Later Life
Murdoch had an unsuccessful spell as a publican that ended in debt. In 1995, Murdoch won a legal case in a Medical Appeal Tribunal that an ankle injury he had sustained playing for Celtic was an industrial injury, entitling him to compensation from the state. In his last years he had a role helping at Celtic Park with match-day hospitality. He died, aged 56, following a stroke, in the Victoria Infirmary, Glasgow. He was survived by Kathleen, his wife since 1964. Murdoch was the first of the Lisbon Lions, the most celebrated team in Scottish football history, to die.
