Timothy Murphy (8 March 1888 – 20 January 1975), known as Thade Murphy, was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a goalkeeper for club side Macroom and was a member of the Cork senior football team from 1909 until 1914.
Murphy first came to Gaelic football prominence as a goalkeeper with the Macroom club that won four County Championship titles in five seasons between 1909 and 1913. He joined the Cork senior football team as a goalkeeper in advance of the 1909 Munster Championship. Murphy subsequently lined out in the 1911 All-Ireland final which saw Cork claim their second ever title after a 6–06 to 1–02 defeat of Antrim.[1] He continued to line out with Cork until 1914.[citation needed]
