clubs, club.Brian Murphy (born 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.
Regarded as one of the greatest dual players of all-time due to his unique distinction of winning All-Ireland medals at minor, under-21 and senior in both codes, Murphy joined the team during the 1971–72 National Hurling League and was a regular member of the starting fifteen in both codes until his retirement after the 1983 hurling championship. During that time his hurling honours include three All-Ireland medals, seven Munster medals, three National League medals and two All-Star awards. His football honours include one All-Ireland medal, two Munster medals and two All-Star awards. Murphy was an All-Ireland runner-up on three occasions.
At club level Murphy was a four-time All-Ireland medalist with Nemo Rangers GAA. In addition to this he has also won six Munster medals and seven county football championship medals.
