"He was a Middlesex end to end and he continued to serve the club beautifully after his retirement as a committee man, a confidant and, above all, a supporter. his last day was devoted to Middlesex's victory in the Lord.

Murray played more than 650 times for Middlesex, scoring 17,519 points over a career of 24 years.
