Stats
Bio
Recruited from the Ivanhoe Amateurs, Alan Muir was a lightly built utility who earned his chance with Fitzroy during the uncertain early years of the Second World War. He made his senior debut in the final round of the 1940 season, joining the Maroons at a time when VFL lists were increasingly depleted by enlistments. Despite his persistence, Muir struggled to cement a permanent spot in the lineup, managing only sporadic appearances across three seasons as a depth player. His football journey was ultimately curtailed by his service in the Australian Army, seeing him trade the playing field for military duty after just half a dozen senior games.
