Daniel Currie (1935 – 1992) was a Scottish footballer who played as an inside right, primarily for Clyde,[1] winning the Scottish Cup with the club in 1957–58,[2] [3] plus the Glasgow Merchants Charity Cup a month later,[4] followed by the Glasgow Cup five months after that.[5]
He also played at senior level for Queen of the South,[6] played four times for the Scotland under-23 team[7] and was selected for an international trial match in 1958[8] which led to him being placed on the shortlist for the 1958 FIFA World Cup squad, though ultimately he did not make the final pool.
He later emigrated to Canada with his family in June 1973, playing for local teams in the Brantford, Ontario area.[6] He died in July 1992.[9]
