Former Kerry Footballer Sean Murphy has passed away aged 93.

He was one of the greatest defenders Kerry football has ever produced, getting his first call-up to the Kerry team in 1949.

The Camp man won 3 Sam Maguires with the Kingdom, most notably in 1959.

His display in that decider led to it being called the 'Sean Murphy All-Ireland'.

Further proof of his standing in GAA circles came when he was named on both the Football Team of the Century & Football Team of the Millennium.

John Drummey interviewed Dr Murphy just over a year ago during which they spoke about how Sean had the unique achievement of winning All-Irelands with each of his three brothers.
