Former England midfielder Danny Murphy provided an update on the fate of his missing cat Bob after sharing details of his disappearance earlier in the week.
A clip of Murphy commentating on Tuesday’s World Cup last-32 clash between Norway and Ivory Coast went viral as the 49-year-old told the story of his missing cat.
During the match, which featured Fulham winger Oscar Bobb playing for Norway, Murphy revealed that his cat Bob had jumped into the back of a Royal Mail van and was lost.

The story sparked interest on social media and during Thursday’s last-32 meeting between Spain and Austria, Murphy addressed Bob’s fate, revealing that the feline had actually returned a few weeks later. He said: “Surprisingly, there was a lot of interest. We did get him back six or seven weeks later.
“Unfortunately he had gone feral and we couldn’t re-integrate him into the home, and he ended up living with my friend’s parents in Preston.
“That was the life he had and now he has passed away, unfortunately, many years ago. Thanks for all the concern those who have been messaging us.”
