*** 2009 Cheeky Boys Calendar ***
Cathy Murphy (Richard's mum) and a group of friends came up with the idea of creating a male version of the ‘Women's Institute' style calendar to raise funds for Meningitis Research and to raise awareness of the disease. A group of Richards friends from school and university agreed to take part in a football-themed photo shoot.

Richard Murphy was a gifted student on the BA Philosophy degree who tragically contracted and died of meningitis in his first year of study.

In 2002 the department established an annual prize for the student with the best performance in their finals. The prize was made possible with generous help from Richard's parents, Paul and Cathy Murphy, and former colleagues of Mrs Murphy.
