Once a Copper: The life and times of Brian `The Skull` Murphy
Once a Copper: The life and times of Brian `The Skull` Murphy
Once a copper, always a copper. At least that's how it seems for Brian 'The Skull' Murphy, long-retired but sought out by a trail of journalists and cops who regularly beat a path to his door. Once known as Australia's toughest cop, The Skull was both charged with manslaughter (and acquitted), then awarded a Valour Award for bravery in the line of duty. It is these two sides to the complex man that intrigue audiences to this day.
Much has been written about The Skull's escapades, but few have explored the method behind the madness.
