Maxwell Charles Orr (9 January 1931 – 12 September 1955) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
The son of Charles Walter Orr (1872-1953), and Marjorie Elizabeth Bartlett Orr (1900-1998), née Beames, Maxwell Charles Orr was born at Ballarat on 9 January 1931.
He married Helen Ivy Mills in 1950.[2]
Orr, a half forward, played junior football for East Ballarat, before arriving in Melbourne.[3] [4] [5]
He made five appearances for Melbourne in the 1952 VFL season but played only two games the following year.[6]
In 1954 he returned to the country and began playing for the Ballarat Football Club.
While in the city he was also a wicket-keeper for the MCC.
On 12 September 1955, Orr died in a car accident on the Western Highway, near Melton, on his way to his home in Creswick.
The panel van he was driving collided with a semi trailer. His father was injured; but Orr, who was due to play for Ballarat in a semi final later that week, was killed instantly.[7] [8] [9]
