Kevin Murray is a legend of Australian Rules football. To Fitzroy and Brisbane Lions faithful he is everything. An icon. A treasure.

Not withstanding him being one of the most decorated players in Fitzroy history, Murray united two football clubs together. Without the man known as “Bulldog”, the 1996 merger between the Fitzroy Lions and Brisbane Bears couldn’t have been successful.

Murray is everything that’s good about Fitzroy - the club and the suburb - and Australian Rules football. That’s why he needs to be honoured with a statue at Brunswick St Oval, the spiritual home of the Fitzroy Football Club. He is thoroughly decent, humble person and there is no one more deserving of a statue.

I’m calling on the Brisbane Lions, the AFL and Yarra City Council to get together to make it happen.
