Career
Murphy first came to prominence as a member of the Carbery Rangers minor team that won three successive championships. His performances at club level resulted in his inclusion on the Cork minor team that secured the All-Ireland title in 1968. Murphy progressed onto the Cork under-21 team and enjoyed three undefeated years at provincial level before winning consecutive All-Ireland Under-21 Championships in 1970-71. By this stage he had also been drafted onto the Cork senior team and made a number of appearances between 1971 and 1975. Murphy also won County Senior Championship titles with Carbery in 1968 and 1971 before ending his career with a number of divisional championship titles with Carbery Rangers.[2] In retirement from playing he became involved in coaching, and was a selector with the Carbery Rangers team that won the County Junior Championship title in 2003.[3]
