Vale Murray Swinton

For those that have been following, Murray was the Firefighter struck down with MND that Collingwood has dedicated so much to this year.

He passed away today. He was a colleague of mine, and a good fella.

Thanks to Bucks and the Pies for their class this year and for making Muzz feel like one of your own.

Vale.
