Michael Moore

Michael Moore (1965–2000) was the inaugural football manager of the Melbourne Storm, controlling the day-to-day running of football operations. He joined Melbourne from theBrisbane Broncos,where he was part of that club's strength and conditioning program. Moore played rugby league in Queensland withBrisbane Brothersfrom 1984 to 1992, before finishing his playing career withBrisbane Southsin 1993. As well as his role with the Brisbane Broncos, he headed up the conditioning program for theBrisbane Bulletsin1996/97.

Outside of sport, Moore was aphysical educationteacher for two years in 1988–1989, and was a physical activities officer with theQueensland Police Servicefor nine years before moving to Victoria.^[3]

Moore had originally applied for the role of strength and conditioning coach at Melbourne, but was instead offered the role as football manager.^[4]Moore would be instrumental in setting up the club, making new players arriving at the club welcome, often acting as a father-figure for players and their families.^[4]

Moore's sudden death was devastating to the tight-knit Melbourne Storm club, with the Storm players jerseys carrying "Michael Moore 2000 Season" embroidery during2000.Melbourne renamed the "Clubman of the Year" Medal in his honour,^[3]with the award combined with the Chairman's Award to become the Michael Moore Club Person of the Year trophy in 2005.

Michael Moore was survived by his wife Tracey, and children Harry, Meg, and Georgia.
