Murphy in Spain

In his first television interview, the captain of Linfield football club, William Murphy, says he'll fight to clear his name in a Spanish court, after being charged with passing counterfeit bank notes.

He says he's not an international money launderer and speaks frankly about facing the charges, which carry a minimum eight-year prison sentence. He was first detained in 2007, but was released, then re-arrested this May when he returned to Torremolinos for a stag party. After two weeks in jail Murphy is currently on bail awaiting trail and must remain in Spain. He's been talking exclusively to Denise Watson.
