Eamon Dunphy

Eamon Dunphy (born 3 August, 1945 in Dublin) was an Irish football player. He played for Manchester United, previous clubs include York City, Millwall, Charlton Athletic and Reading, Berkshire. He played 23 times for the Irish national team.

After retiring from football, Dunphy went into broadcasting, regularly appearing to analyse matches on RTÉ television. He has also had a prominent radio career, and was the original host of the popular current affairs show The Last Word on Today FM.

In 2003, Dunphy was hired by TV3 to host their new Friday night chat show, entitled The Dunphy Show. Pitted head-to-head with RTÉ's The Late Late Show, Dunphy's show lost the highly publicised "ratings war", and was cancelled before its original run was to conclude.

He is also author of the book More than a game, and ghostwrote the autobiography of Ireland and Manchester United football player Roy Keane.

In September 2004, Dunphy took over the Breakfast show slot on the Dublin radio station NewsTalk 106 from David McWilliams.

He has repeatedly been the subject of controversy over his use of drugs, both legal and illegal, which he has admitted. This has resulted in him receiving a 20-year driving ban, starting in 2002, for drink driving. While publicly stating his support for Ireland's workplace smoking ban, he has been photographed smoking at his own workplace since its introduction.
