Cammy Murray

Robert Cameron Murray (20 June 1944 – 19 February 2025), better known as Cammy Murray, was a Scottish professional footballer. He played as a right-back for St Mirren, Motherwell and Arbroath throughout the 1960s and 1970s.

Career Murray began his career by playing for St Mirren in the 1962–63 Scottish Division One following his youth career at the Drumchapel Amateurs with his debut match being a 3–3 draw against Hibernian. Throughout the next decade of his senior career, he would play in around 417 matches including the club's promotion to back to the Division One following the club becoming champions in the 1967–68 Scottish Division Two. During his tenure with the club, he would continue to hold the club record of having the most consecutive league appearances from August 1962 to April 1967 with 170 appearances.

Despite his initial success with the Buddies, during his brief stint with Motherwell, he would be relegated as a reserve as a sweeper before playing midfield within the senior team, making only nine appearances with a single goal for the 1972–73 Scottish Division One. Following this, he would then play for Arbroath. Murray would describe his career with Arbroath as being his favorite due to his teammates as well as the leadership of club manager Bert Henderson. He would play for the club until his last match on 15 April 1978 as a reserve in a 2–1 loss against Airdrieonians following a career with 180 matches and 17 goals.
