Bernie Murray (Gaelic footballer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bernie Murray (born 1964/1965)[1] is an Irish Gaelic football coach and former player. He played for Scotstown and the Monaghan county team.
Murray featured for his county in both the minor and under-21 grades.[2] His senior inter-county career lasted from 1983 until 1993.[1] He won a National League medal in 1985, breaking his leg shortly afterwards, which meant he could not play in that year's Ulster Senior Football Championship.[2][3] During his playing career, Murray transferred to Louth GAA club Stabannon Parnells, as did Monaghan teammate Gerry Hoey.[4]
Murray also won six Monaghan Senior Football Championship titles and Ulster Senior Club Football Championship titles.[5] Since retiring from playing he has coached various clubs in several counties (including Stabannon, Dromintee, Navan O'Mahony's and Ballymacnab), as well as the Monaghan minor team.[5] He worked with Aidan O'Rourke when O'Rourke was managing the Louth county team, as well as when O'Rourke was managing Queen's University in the Sigerson Cup.[5] He also served as a selector from the beginning of Séamus McEnaney's first spell as Monaghan senior manager in 2004.[3][6] However, McEnaney parted ways with him ahead of the 2007 season.[7]
