  In 1982 Muggleton missed out on his $200 prize as player of the week for his performance against Eastern Suburbs at the Sydney Sports Ground after he chose not to appear on Channel 9 Sports programme World of Sport. It came after Parramatta placed a ban on the show for an incident which lead to Greg Hartley apologising on the show.

  A great player who was never spoken of highly enough alongside his many parramatta teammates. He has gone on to become a successful man in all areas he has coached and assisted with

  Muggo experienced some significant physical challenges, as is so often the case with athletes, that ffected various stages of his career.
  He sprained his ankle in a warm-up game on the first leg of the Invincibles tour. He was not fit enough to play in Test matches, but did play in several county games as his ankle began to recover.
  Along with a number of other players, he suffered heat exhaustion at a Wests game played in 40 degree heat. Treatment for this showed that Muggo actually had glandular fever, and he battled sporadic episodes of fatigue from the disease for several years afterward.
  Muggo had his cheekbone and eye socket badly broken in a game at Balmain when an opposing player came in late with a knee to the face after Muggo scored a try. The break resulted in surgery that saw Muggo wearing two metal prongs drilled into and protruding from his cheek and secured with a cross-bar, progressively tightened to bring the pieces together, for several months.
