Brian Murphy (Gaelic games)

Brian Murphy, born on 2 February 1952, is an Irish retired dual player of Gaelic football and hurler who played as a corner-back for the Cork senior teams. He is regarded as one of the greatest dual players of all time because of his unique distinction of winning All-Ireland medals at minor, under-21 and senior levels in both codes. He joined the team during the 1971-72 National Hurling League and was a regular in the starting fifteen in both codes until his retirement after the 1983 hurling championship. His hurling honours include three All-Ireland medals, seven Munster medals, three National League medals and two All-Star awards, and his football honours include one All-Ireland medal, two Munster medals and two All-Star awards. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on three occasions.
