And he believes context is crucial when assessing the challenges the club currently face in an ultra-competitive Premier League
Albion have won two of their last 15 league and cup games and have slipped to 14th in the table ahead of a tough-looking game at Brentford.
Murray was part of two promotions as well as seasons in the bottom half of League One and the Premier League in his two stints with the club.
He knows the history, as was underlined as he helped Mark McGhee and Brian Horton launch celebrations of Albion’s 125-year anniversary.
And he believes context of that background, more recent club history and the current strength of the Prem are all necessary.
He told The Argus: “I think the journey the club has been on is incredible and where we are right now is amazing, considering where we came from.
“Losing your ground, moving out of the city. Not many football clubs have to play their home games outside their city.
“We had to go to Gillingham, there's the day at Hereford where we were almost out of the Football League, which can be devastating for football clubs, as we've seen in the past.
“And then to claw our way back and I think to do with two local people in Dick Knight, leading the football club at one point and then to transition into Tony Bloom as a fan of the football club and then reach where we've reached now in the Premier League, getting promoted from the Championship.

“And obviously getting our first year in Europe. I'll put it like that because I'm sure there will be another on the horizon.
“It's kind of a fairy tale when you zoom out and take a look at the whole story in one.”
So how far should you zoom out when looking at where the club are right now?
Murray said: “There's a lot of context behind that question. When I see the Premier League table, we are about mid-table of where we want to be.
“But we are six points off the last European place and seven clear of relegation, and that's kind of mid-table as far as we're concerned.
“I understand that the middle pack of the Premier League is extremely condensed.
“But what that gives us is hope that, if we can find a little bit of consistency, then we can be in the top half of the division, like we always aim to be.
“This is just part of the process of the Premier League season.
“We see how, week to week, ups and downs affect people's moods and opinions, but we just need to stay calm and enjoy the ride.”
Calm is a word with which chairman Tony Bloom and deputy Paul Barber have been mentioned, especially by head coach Fabian Hurzeler.
Murray said: “Without doubt. And I think that also is why we have had football managers over the recent period that are successful, because of that foundation that's given from the hierarchy.
“That coolness, that calmness that we don't see in modern day football a lot, allowing our managers to concentrate on-field rather than deal with issues away from the playing side.
“The Premier League is the hardest league in the world, whichever way you get to look at it.
“Sometimes, because we're lucky enough to be in it and we've worked hard to be in it, I think we sometimes forget the level. Every single game is so important, so difficult.
“Every club has invested ,so much money to be here, to be performing and competing at this level.
“All you've got to do is look at the result last night. Arsenal, who have been lauded this season to have the most in-depth squad the Premier League's ever had, draw 2-2 at Wolves, who haven't even got to the lowest number of points yet.
“They haven't reached Darby's total. So that is the competition we're in and that is kind of the realisation of how difficult this league is. I am completely comfortable.
“Listen, unfortunately, in life and in football, it isn't always just a nice linear upward trajectory. There's going to be blips along the way.

“I think after certain games, there's a little bit of emotion flying about, a little bit of frustration.
“But I remember in the Chris Hughton days a similar frustration.
“The football back then wasn't really entertaining, but it did a job for the football club.
“Right now, we're in a moment where we're not a confident team, but that will turn around and we will we will get a win and we will get results and we'll be fine.
“And this will be long gone in the memory, and we'll be looking forward.”
