Michael Murphy rolls back the years to dominate another square

In recent years, he’s had no choice but to be one of Donegal’s primary ball-winners in the middle third. Once he had steadied the Donegal ship in Hyde Park, he moved back into familiar waters – lording it on the edge of the parallelogram.
Football purists across the country will be pondering just how good would Donegal be with a “M” full-forward line of Murphy-Mac Niallias-McBrearty? Hopefully, we’ll see all three of them on the same line next year.
