Thomas Montgomerie Duncan (15 July 1936 – March 2024) was a Scottish professional football outside left, best remembered for his 11 years in the Scottish League with Airdrieonians.[1] [2] He also briefly played in the Football League on loan at Newport County. Duncan later managed Queen's Park between November 1969 and May 1974.
Tommy Duncan's senior professional football career commenced as a 16 year old in the Scottish Highland Football League with his local senior football club, Buckie Thistle FC. His talents were spotted in the summer of 1952 when Airdrie FC played a two-game Highland pre-season tour, with one of the games played against Buckie Thistle at Victoria Park, Buckie, where Duncan shone on the Buckie Thistle left wing, and Airdrie subsequently, and quickly signed him, and where he spent the next eleven seasons at Airdrie.
Duncan died in March 2024, at the age of 87.[3]
