Alexander "Alex" Binnie was a Scottish football goalkeeper who played for Kilsyth Rangers, Partick Thistle, Port Vale, and Hamilton Academicals in the 1920s.

Playing career

Binnie played for Kilsyth Rangers and Partick Thistle, before joining Port Vale on trial in September 1926.^[1] He kept a clean sheet in his debut in a draw with Hull City at Anlaby Road on 25 September, but failed to impress in his three other Second Division games.^[1] With goalkeepers George Holdcroft and Tom Fern already at The Old Recreation Ground there was no room for Binnie, and he moved back to Scotland to play for Hamilton Academicals.^[1]
