Duncan Currie (13 August 1892 â 1 July 1916) was a Scottish professional footballer who played as a full back in the Scottish League for Heart of Midlothian.
Currie's brothers Bob and Sam also became footballers. Currie served as a sergeant in McCrae's Battalion of the Royal Scots during the First World War and was killed leading his platoon on the first day of the Somme. During an assault on La Boisselle, he was shot in the right shoulder in no-man's land and died instantly. Currie is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial.
