Kevin 'Bulldog' Murray (born 18 June 1938) was a champion Australian rules footballer who played for the Fitzroy Football Club in the Victorian Football League in 333 games over 18 seasons.
Murray played for Fitzroy from 1955 to 1964, and from 1967 to 1974, winning nine best-and-fairest awards for the club. He was playing coach of Fitzroy in 1963, a job he also filled in 1964, along with representing and captaining his home state of Victoria.
In 1965 and 1966 he moved to Western Australia to play for East Perth Football Club. During that time he played 44 Western Australian Football League games and captained WA at the National Football Carnival. He also won East Perth's best-and-fairest award in 1965.
His return to the Fitzroy was triumphant. He won the club's best-and-fairest award in his first two years back, and in 1969 he was awarded the Brownlow Medal.
Amongst Murray's other honours, he was named an All-Australian player in 1958 and 1966.
His 333 games for Fitzroy was a then VFL record. He also played 44 games for East Perth, 24 for Victoria and 6 for WA.
At the end of the 1996 season, Fitzroy merged with the Brisbane Bears to form the Brisbane Lions. Murray was a great supporter of the merged entity, and the Lions' club championship award, the Merrett-Murray Medal, is part-named in Murray's honour.
