From 2009-10 to 2013-14, Robbie Murphy put together perhaps the most decorated career in the history of Gryphons men's soccer. In his rookie season in 2009, Robbie became the first player in the school history to be named U SPORTS Rookie of the Year. By his third season as a Gryphon, he had already become the program's all-time leading scorer. His sensational 2011 season would see him make program history by becoming the first University of Guelph men's soccer player to be named the recipient of the Joe Johnson Memorial Trophy as the U SPORTS Player of the Year. That season, Murphy scored an astonishing 16 goals in 14 games played. He also was named a U SPORTS First Team All-Canadian, took home OUA West Division MVP honours, and that spring was named the University of Guelph's Men's Athlete of the Year. After missing the 2012 season due to injury, Robbie returned for his final season in 2013 where he was named an OUA West First Team All-Star for the third time in his career, while also taking home the University of Guelph's W.F. Mitchell Sportsman of the Year award. Murphy finished his Gryphon career as the school's all-time leading scorer with 49 goals, a mark which was broken by Jace Kotsopoulos in 2018. Robbie was named an OUA All-Star in all four of his seasons played.
