SSN Darren Lewis 15/10/10

Darren Lewis defended Danny Murphy regarding comments attributed to him during his recent 'outburst' on tackling, stating that Danny never mentioned 

"...players going out to maim, injure or kill other players... he definitely did not say that".

So the question is, where did these comments come from?

That kind of language was used in follow up pieces in all the tabloids, so it's a tad hypocritical for Darren (or anyone else within the tabloid press for that matter) to try and take some kind of moral high ground here. This would have been in contention for a "journalism in the 3rd person quote of the week" award, until I read this quote in The Sun from Sam Allardyce -

"Danny Murphy doesn't know about Sam Allardyce because he's never been managed by Sam Allardyce or coached by Sam Allardyce."
