Hyde United posts tweet after hearing Danny Murphy ‘slagging off’ club during Euros coverage

Hyde United posts a tweet after hearing Danny Murphy ‘slagging off’ the non league club during the BBC’s Euros coverage.

During Portugal’s late 2-1 win over Czechia on Tuesday night, Danny Murphy could be heard talking about Northern Premier League Premier Division side Hyde United, saying “it is not the most glamorous place”, and added “no disrespect”.

This led to Hyde then tweeting: “Nice to hear Danny Murphy is such a fan of the club…. 🤷🏻‍♂️”

They added in a further tweet with a photo of the stadium: “The main stand that Jindrich Stanek walked out of at the not very glamorous @ProjectSolarBE stadium ❤️ You are welcome to attend a game again Danny Murphy, you don’t know what you are missing!”

Jindrich Stanek’s journey has been quite the story. He started off with Sparta Prague, from youth to professional, then went to Everton in 2014.

He was released, and ended up playing in the 7th tier of English football with Hyde, but since then played for České Budějovice, Třebíč, and Viktoria Plzeň current club Slavia Prague while also becoming Czechia’s number 1 goalkeeper in the Euros this summer.

“He only played a handful of games but he did make a big impact,” says ex-Hyde defender Shane Killock as per the Guardian. “All the lads at the time were happy to have him in our side; even at a young age he looked like he had all the attributes to do well and have a successful career in the game, which he seems to have done so far.

“He was both loud and vocal during games with good communication skills. He wouldn’t just shout for the sake of it but would give you clear instructions and not leave you in any doubt about what he wanted from you, which helped to make your mind up for you and make your decision easier. This, as well as his confidence, was something that stood out for me, as it’s something that keepers can lack, particularly at a young age. You can be a great shot-stopper, but if you’re quiet and stay on your line, you can make the team nervous and you won’t have their full trust, but this wasn’t the case with Jindrich.”

One of the goalkeeping coaches then working at Everton, Andy Fairman helped bring Stanek to England from Sparta Prague.

“There were days when he would train with the first team and they would not be able to score past him,” Fairman said. “He was absolutely phenomenal at times. The issue was that he came to a new country and his first game for us [for the under-21s] was an absolute nightmare. He was a young kid flown halfway across the world, very little support network and thrust into a game at Southport. He tried dribbling the ball out, got ­tackled and we lost the game on it.”

On the move to Hyde: “He needed more game time to help make better match decisions. There was always a keeper there and he trained really well. What did not help him were the injuries; he got a lot of niggly injuries that kept him out a lot. In training he was fantastic but it did not always transfer when he played. This is why we wanted to get him out on loan. As a young keeper who is getting very little game time while trying to impress, you end up trying to do too much to impress and make mistakes.”

“I personally would have kept him at Everton,” Fairman says. “He has gone on to show our recruitment went well because we picked somebody who has gone on to have a successful career.”

Killock added: “It shows that if you apply yourself and are willing to put the hard yards in, be patient and listen and take advice from others, then you can realise your dreams, which is what he’s doing now.”
