[10] Muir was signed to Tranmere Rovers by player-manager, Frank Worthington, who was his striking partner in his first season at the club.
Muir prospered when new manager, John King, signed a big target-man, Jim Steel, as his strike partner in late 1987.
[11] Injury prevented Muir partaking in the final strait of Rovers' promotion run in 1991 when they reached the second tier of English football for only the second time in their history.
