After failing to make the grade at Richmond - he managed just three senior games there in two seasons - Wally Gray moved to Fitzroy where he showed himself to be a defender of considerable quality. Playing mainly across half back, he exuded confidence and self belief, and had plenty of dash. Strongly built and energetic, he played a total of 87 VFL games for the Roys between 1932 and 1938.
