Seán Óg Murphy (original) (raw)

John Francis "Seán Óg" Murphy (17 September 1892 – 11 June 1956) was an Irish hurler who played as a full-back for the Cork senior team. Born in Merchant Street, Cork, Murphy first played competitive hurling during his schooling at the North Monastery. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of fifteen when he first linked up with the Cork senior team. He made his debut in the 1914 championship. Murphy went on to play a key role for the next fifteen years, and won three All-Ireland medals and six Munster medals. An All-Ireland runner-up on three occasions, Murphy also captained the team to All-Ireland victory in 1926 and 1928.
