A centre forward with the Naval Air Arm during the Second World War, Maurice Boxall switched to the outside-right position when he joined Banstead Athletic after being demobbed, playing for Surrey three times while there. After having a trial at Wimbledon in 1951, he quickly established himself as a tricky winger who liked nothing better than taking on opposition full backs. He made up for what he lacked in height with speed and ball control. A regular in the 1951-52 and 1952-53 seasons he dropped down to the reserves in the autumn of 1953 and left the club early the following year.

Playing for Dulwich Hamlet (reserves) at the end of the 1955/56 season.
