'''Ollie Murphy''' is a [[Gaelic football]]er who plays for the Carnaross club and the [[Meath county football team|Meath county team]]. He came to national prominence in 1999 when he was one of Meath's best players as they won the [[All-Ireland Senior Football Championship]] that year, scoring the decisive goal in that year's All-Ireland final. This was his second All Ireland senior medal as he was a substitute when Meath won the 1996 [[All-Ireland Senior Football Championship]]. He also won three [[Leinster Senior Football Championship]] medals. Murphy won two [[GAA All Stars Awards]]. Murphy's best season was the 2001 championship where he put in a number of superb display's as Meath reached another All Ireland final. In that final he had to leave the field of play with a hand injury. In recent years his form has been not up to what it once was and he has failed to warrant a starting position. Ollie made his senior inter-county debut playing for [[London county football team|London]] against [[Galway GAA|Galway]] in the [[1994 Connacht Senior Football Championship]]. It was his one and only appearance for the Exiles. Murphy's [[Benny Murphy|Benny]] father was also an inter-county player - he lined out for his native [[Fermanagh county football team|Fermanagh]].
