Jacob Murphy, the Netflix documentary!
The Chronicle
|February 21, 2026
JACOB Murphy admits that he could make a Netflix documentary about his journey with Newcastle United since arriving from Norwich City eight years ago.
The 30-year-old has survived managerial change, a Saudi takeover and some intense competition for places to remain a go to player for the Magpies.
Murphy swirled home his first Champions League goal in the 6-1 rout over Qarabag in midweek and heads to Man City tonight with memories of a goal he delicately dinked over Ederson back in 2018 albeit in another defeat at the Etihad.
Signed by Rafa Benitez, Murphy was loaned out to West Brom and Sheff Wed between 2019 and 2020 with many wondering if he’d ran his race for Newcastle.
But after signing a six-year deal in 2021, Murphy has watched on as Newcastle spent millions, knowing he must find his best form to continue the adventure at the club he has supported since he was a kid, with the Wembley-born attacker's parents Maxine and John hailing from Birtley and Ashington respectively.
