Career
After playing at South Bendigo for two seasons, Murray came to Melbourne and gave the club solid service in six seasons. Murray, a left footer, missed just one game in his first two years with the club but was in and out of the side after that. A half back flanker, he represented the VFL against South Australia in 1933.
He retired from the game that season, but returned in 1938 when appointed captain-coach for the year.
As football was not a professional sport in the 1930s, Murray had a career as a police officer in Brunswick.
