Please note

Sorry, we don't have images or video for this item.

Migraine Murphy is the imaginery coach of a grid-iron team famous for the mistakes it makes. In humourous fashion the film shows the fumbles, the dropped catches, the clumsiness etc of his team using real game footage. Also shows how things can go wrong in the pre-game razz-ma-tazz.
