Terry Murphy (born 6 March 1972) is a Northern Irish former professional snooker player.[1]

Career

[edit]

Murphy started playing the game on a reduced-size table his parents bought him in order to keep him off the streets of his native Derry while growing up, before he moved to The Midlands when he was a teenager.[2] Murphy turned professional in 1991, and represented Northern Ireland at the World Cup in 1996, and also had his highest-ranking finish of a quarter-final in the 1997 Welsh Open.[3] He reached a career high ranking of 29th in Snooker world rankings 1997/1998 and 1998/1999.[4] He appeared in the 1998 World Championship where he lost 3–10 to Peter Ebdon. The following year he again reached the World Championship but was defeated 8–10 by John Parrott.[1] He lost his full professional status in 2004, finishing 113rd in the rankings at a time when only the top 64 automatically retained their place on the main tour.[5]
