Rebel dual star still fighting the good fight on two fronts with St Finbarr’s

Few are loved by their own quite like Jimmy Barry-Murphy and the Cork icon continues to patrol the sidelines with his native St Finbarr’s as a GAA obsession continues into his 70s.
As a player, ‘JBM’ was adored. There was an aura about him. Everything he did was done with such grace and poise that he stood out from the crowd on the pitch, while playing down his exploits off it.
