Seán Murphy (born 1953) is an Irish retired Gaelic footballer, coach and selector who played for Cork Championship club Kilmurry and at inter-county level with the Cork senior football team. He usually lined out at wing-forward.
Murphy first came to notice at juvenile and underage levels with the Kilmurry club.[1] He eventually progressed to the adult team and won Cork JFC titles in 1980 and 1986, as well as numerous divisional and league titles.[2] He also lined out with University College Cork in the Sigerson Cup and earned selection to the Muskerry team. Murphy first appeared on the inter-county scene with the Cork minor football team and was at wing-forward on the team that lost the 1971 All-Ireland minor final to Mayo.[3][4]
He later lined out with the under-21 team.[5] Murphy joined the Cork senior football team's extended panel during their Munster Championship-winning season in 1974, however, he didn't break onto the team until 1976.[6] He was a member of the team that won the 1979–80 National League title before leaving the panel in 1981.
