North Easterner Pat Murphy was a much travelled former Blyth Spartans and Middlesbrough wing half who had managerial experience with Scunthorpe United, Llanelli and Eastbourne United. He had also managed the Combined Services team and German side Eimsbuttler-Hamburg.

He was appointed Mossley manager in March 1957 but it was to be short lived as he wasn't retained for the following season and was in charge for just nine games at the end of the 1956-57 season.

In 1959 he had a one year spell as manager of Wigan Athletic and also managed Burscough and St Helens Town..
