Maxwell Charles "Max" Orr (9 January 1931 – 12 September 1955) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
Orr, a half forward, played junior football for East Ballarat, before arriving in Melbourne. He made five appearances for Melbourne in the 1952 VFL season but played only two games the following year.[2] While in the city he was also a wicket-keeper for the MCC. In 1954 he returned to the country and began playing for the Ballarat Football Club.
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 had collided with a semi trailer. His father was injured but Orr, who was due to play for Ballarat in a semi final, was killed instantly.[3]
