Murphy celebrates world title with quiet night in

NEW Embassy World Champion Shaun Murphy revealed he had a “quiet night” after his heroic final victory over Matthew Stevens at the Crucible.

A glass or two of champagne and some time with his fiancée, family and friends summed up the youngster’s evening after a star-studded dinner at the Holiday Inn in Sheffield.

But 22-year-old Murphy is hoping to make a big impact with his world champion status, an accolade which makes him seeded two for every ranking event next season.
