Magee, who played as a centreman and rover, made his debut for South Melbourne in 1962. By 1966 he was representing Victoria at interstate football but soon after he was let go by South Melbourne. He was signed up by Footscray and became captain of the club during the 1970 season after the retirement of Ted Whitten.[1] In 1976 he moved to the West Australian National Football League (WANFL) and joined the Swan Districts as captain-coach.
