Barry Johnston says his 'heart broke' over player's horror injury in 2019

Barry Johnston says his "heart broke" as he watched the full fallout from Marty Murray's horror injury back in 2019.

Johnston was managing St James' Swifts at the time and had convinced former Cliftonville teammate Murray to join the West Belfast club.

The then 26-year-old suffered a fracture to his tibia and fibula in an Intermediate Cup game against Windmill Stars, with the tie being abandoned as he received treatment on the pitch before being taken to Daisy Hill Hospital.
