Born just ten minutes from Thomond Park,[1] Murray played for Munster between 1984 and 1996, and was captain of the province when they made their European debut during the 1995–96 Heineken Cup, scoring a late try to secure a 17–13 win against Swansea and Munster's first ever win in the competition. His last appearance for Munster was against London Wasps.[2][3]
Murray was also a Shannon stalwart, captaining the side that won a hat-trick of All-Ireland League between 1994 and 1997, and then coaching the parishmen as they completed their famous four-in-a-row in 1998, a side that was also coached by another Shannon legend, Niall O'Donovan, and featured future legends Mick Galwey and Anthony Foley.[2] Despite his performances for Shannon and Munster, Murray never won any caps for Ireland, despite many feeling that he was the best fullback in the country.[4]
