Thomas McIlvean McMurray (24 July 1911 – 24 March 1964) was an Irish cricketer and footballer. [1] He played 33 first-class matches for Surrey between 1933 and 1939. [2] His brother, Alfred McMurray, played for Ireland in the 1930s. [3]
Tom McMurray was born in Belfast and educated there at the Royal Belfast Academical Institution. [1] He was playing football in London for Millwall when he joined Surrey in 1932. [4]
A batsman, McMurray was never able to establish a spot in the Surrey First XI, and played 63 matches for the Second XI between 1932 and 1948, scoring nine centuries with a top score of 133 not out against Devon in 1937. [1] [5] His top first-class score was 62, which he made twice: in 1933 he opened against Northamptonshire and made 62 and 33; [6] and in 1936, batting at number three against Hampshire, he made 62 in the second innings. [7] He was an outstanding fieldsman, noted for his speed in the outfield, and once fielded as a substitute for England in a Test match in 1934. [4]
From 1945 he taught PT at Campbell College in Belfast. [4] He also umpired several Minor Counties cricket matches in England each year during the summer holidays from 1949 to 1963. [8]
