Bray was recruited to the Saints from Prahran in 1941 and for the next ten years served the club with distinction as a pacy centreman.
He fell two votes shy of winning the Brownlow Medal in his final season, 1952,[4] after finishing third in 1949[5] and second in 1947.[6]
He did, however, twice win St.Kilda's best and fairest award in 1945 and 1947 and also represented the VFL in interstate football.
Bray served as a private in the Australian Army during the Second World War.[7]
