Harry Murphy a Gaelic football manager from County Wicklow.

Rathnew

Murphy won Leinster club with Rathnew in 2001 and also led the Wicklow side to seven senior football county titles during his 12-year tenure, including an impressive four consecutive titles from 2000-2003.

Wicklow

After Kerry legend Mick O'Dwyer stepped down in the wake of defeat at the hands of Armagh,[1] Murphy was appointed as the Wicklow senior football team on 29 August 2011.[2][3] Murphy's approach has been praised by one player: "Harry's training and approach is absolutely savage and after a slow start to the league we got going. His ways are more modern than Micko's. He talks to players too; he'll have the crack with them but you always know where you stand with him. He's dead straight."[4]
