Career
editMurphy first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the Passage club and later became a mainstay of the club's senior team.[1] At inter-county level, he never played at minor level with Cork but was a substitute on the under-21 team that beat Wexford in the 1968 All-Ireland under-21 final.[2] Murphy was subsequently drafted onto the Cork senior hurling team during the team's successful 1968-69 National League campaign. It was the first of two successive league titles as well as consecutive Munster Championship titles.[3][4] After coming on as a substitute in the 1969 All-Ireland final defeat by Kilkenny, Murphy ended the following season with All-Ireland success after a 6-21 to 5-10 win over Wexford in the 1970 All-Ireland final.[5][6] He later joined the Shamrocks club and won divisional titles in both hurling and Gaelic football.
Death
