RIP Leo Murphy, a giant of a man in every way. Despite his achievements, he played for Rostrevor 3rds at the end of his career, showing the humility of the truly great. The demise of 3rds football has been sad to see; there should be an outlet for players who just enjoy playing football and don't have the time time to take it too seriously. That is one reason we lose out to soccer
