Rochdale scored this goal under him in 2019, and I guess this one clip sums up why he’s been chosen

Son of a famous GAA legend, Jimmy Barry Murphy. He won 4 all Ireland medals (the pinnacle in GAA honours) for his county, Cork. Two in gaelic football and two in hurling. Pretty rare for a county to be that good in both sports. Even rarer for a man to win all Ireland medals in both. Good luck to Brian in his role with the EDS.
And a good "soccer" player and a top greyhound trainer

Yeah; just reading up on him. Seems he's no fan of the "ban greyhound racing" brigade.

Club rate him. Just as they did with Vieira, Maresca and Vicens.
City seem to get these sort of appointments spot on the last 5 years or so.
Look forward to watching his EDS side.

They seem to have a preferred pathway for the coaches, given the shuffle.

Ben Wilkinson also moving up from the U16s and taking over the U18s, seems to be a good continuity moveThey seem to have a preferred pathway for the coaches, given the shuffle.

I knew the legend that is JBM. Well I went out with his sister in law. I remember Brian as a toddler. I played a bit of football with him in his backyard. I followed his career with interest. He was a talented player in his time too. Glad to see him come to God's own club now at this point in his career. Good luck Brian biy...
