Born in Dublin, Murray is the son of Ireland rugby player and administrator Paul Murray.[1] He showed promise as a tennis player and was the number one ranked junior in Ireland, but wasn't able to fully commit to the sport.[2]
Murray's solitary Ireland rugby cap came while a medical student at University College Dublin, replacing Mick English at out-half for a 1963 Five Nations Championship match against France in Lansdowne Road.[3]
