At Carlton he was "Best and Fairest" Player 1954. For a time he was also Vice Captain. His tally of 50 goals during that time affords evidence that he was a useful player while resting in the forward lines. A combination of immense determination, doggedness, and energy helped compensate to a large extent for any skill deficiencies.
Milroy died 21 June 1992 survived by his wife and 2 sons aged only 62 years. Son of John Joseph Milroy (1904–1964) and Mary Adelaide Milroy (née Strown) (1902–1934).
