Brian Murphy (born May 7 1983 in Waterford) is a goalkeeper for League of Ireland side Bohemian FC.
England
Brian spent three seasons with Manchester City where the competition for the No. 1 jersey included David Seaman, Nicky Weaver and Carlo Nash. Loaned out to Oldham Athletic in 2002/03, he made his senior début during a loan period with Peterborough United that same season away to Brentford in League One in May 2003. Brian Flynn signed him for Swansea City on a free transfer two months later, and he made 13 appearances for them during the 2003/04 season he was frozen out the following two seasons by the form of Frenchman Willy Gueret. Brian was a regular in the Ireland under-19 squad under Brian Kerr and was preferred to Aston Villa goalkeeper Wayne Henderson for the European under-19 Championships qualifiers and finals in 2002 until a shoulder injury allowed the former Bohemian Schoolboy to reclaim his place. Brian has been capped since at under-20 and under-21 levels.
Ireland
Brian Murphy was one of the first player signed by Bohs manager Sean Connor. He made an instant impression in pre-season friendlies, giving him the edge over on loan Aston Villa goalkeeper Lee Boyle. Brian has kept an amazing 19 clean sheets in his 29 league games to help Bohs to the best defensive record. These performances have given rise to Bohemians' fans regularly chanting "superkeeper".
Brian ended rumours linking him to Bristol City by signing an improved contract at Bohs in November 2007.[1] On January 11th 2008, Brian was voted "Goalkeeper of the Year" for the 2007 season by the Soccer Writers Association of Ireland.
