Dr Con Murphy, 'a doctor, coach, selector, father figure, and friend to Cork and UCC GAA', closes his practice

Today in Mardyke Street in Cork, the best known medic in Irish sport, Dr Con Murphy, closed his surgery doors for the last time. Earlier this year, Larry Ryan wrote about Dr Con's contribution to Cork GAA.
A doctor, coach, selector, counsellor, psychologist, entertainment officer, father figure and friend. Dr Con Murphy has been all that and more to Cork and UCC GAA for more than 40 years. On the day his extraordinary volunteerism is celebrated by Cáirde Chorcaí at a gala event in the City Hall, players and managers from Cork and beyond describe what makes Dr Con special.
