This weeks trip down Memory Lane is to remember one of the clubs legends, Joe Murray.

On the 16th of May 2004 Thomastown United lost one of its best loved characters. Joe's untimely and sudden death shocked everyone who knew him. One of the best known and popular members of the community, Joe always had a word for everyone, sometimes with great sartorial put-downs, always said in jest, everyone who knew Joe's personality always no offence was meant and none was ever taken. He was always willing to lend a hand, and in that respect will always be remembered as a great Club Member and Club Legend.

Joe managed the successful Thomastown side of the 70's and then took over as Club Medic for many years, and as anyone who stood near him at a game can confirm, a very vocal supporter!!

Joe's memory was honoured each Summer with the running of the Murray Cup. It was fitting that the first winners of the competition in 2005 was captained by his son, Joey.

A commemorative photo of Joe hangs in the club dressing-rooms as a reminder. Gone but never forgotten!!
