Playing career

A Mosman junior, who played alongside Ken Irvine in his younger years, Maher made his first grade debut for North Sydney in 1960. In the ten seasons that Maher played for Norths, the club only qualified for the finals on two occasions which were in 1964 where Norths lost to Balmain and in 1965 where Norths finished second on the table at the end of the regular season but bowed out in consecutive games during the finals series. In 1967, Maher became the first choice fullback after the retirement of Fred Griffiths. Maher retired at the end of the 1970 season. He died on 27 July 2009.[2]
