the team coincided with a return to success after a long period without a title, with Cork claiming the 1966 Munster Championship after a 4-09 to 2-09 victory over Waterford. Murphy later helped to guide the team to a first All-Ireland Championship in 12 years after a five-point defeat of Kilkenny in the final. Personal life and death Murphy, who spent much of his working life with Dunlop's, was married to Catherine Murray and lived in the Bishopstown suburb of Cork. They had a son, Eddie, and two daughters, Mary and Audrey. Eddie also enjoyed a lengthy career as a hurler and won an All-Ireland B Championship medal with the Kerry senior hurling team in 1986.
