Vinnie Murphy

Vincent Vinnie Murphy is a former Gaelic footballer and media personality who played at senior level for Dublin. He made his debut for Dublin in 1988 while still a minor and played his club football with Trinity Gaels in Donaghmede, with Kerins O'Rahilly's in Tralee while living in Kerry from 1996 to 1999, and later with St Monica's in Edenmore. He won an All Star in 1992, two National Football League titles in 1991 and 1993 and five Leinster senior medals, and came on as a substitute in Dublin's 1995 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship win over Tyrone. Although he stood under six feet tall he was noted for winning high ball, and in the 1992 All-Ireland final, when three players marked him, he still won nineteen possessions. He also played hurling, lining out for the Dublin hurlers in the Leinster championship in 1988 and 1995 and for Kerry in the Munster hurling championship in 1998.
