Football Codes

Ollie Murphy is a Gaelic footballer who plays for the Carnaross club and the Meath county team. He came to national prominence in 1999, when he was one of Meath's best players as they won the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship that year, scoring the decisive goal in the All-Ireland final. It was his second All-Ireland senior medal, as he had been a substitute when Meath won the 1996 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, and he also won three Leinster Senior Football Championship medals and two GAA All Stars Awards. His best season was the 2001 championship, in which he put in a number of superb displays as Meath reached another All-Ireland final, although he had to leave the field in that final with a hand injury.
