Norman Murray Fairgray (28 October 1880 – 1968) was a Scottish professional footballer who played mainly as an outside left for Maxwelltown Volunteers, Kilmarnock, Lincoln City, Chelsea, Motherwell [3] and Queen of the South. [1]
Having made the move from Maxwelltown to Lincoln a year earlier alongside George Kennedy and George Nisbet, [4] Fairgray was signed for Chelsea in 1907 by manager David Calderhead, an ex- Queen of the South Wanderers player who had been Fairgray's manager at Lincoln. [5] [6] Soon afterwards, Kennedy followed the same path. At Chelsea Fairgray scored five goals in 84 games over seven seasons. [6] [2] At representative level he played in the Home Scots v Anglo-Scots annual trial match in 1908 [7] and 1909 [8] but was never selected for his country in a full international. [1] [3]
In August 1919, by now in his late 30s and having been out of top-level football for some time, Fairgray signed for hometown club Queen of the South. He played in their first-ever competitive game, a first round tie in the Scottish Qualifying Cup against Thornhill at Palmerston Park. [9]
