Joseph J. "Joe" Curry (1887 – 1 April 1936) was an English footballer. His regular position was at full back. He was born in Newcastle upon Tyne. He played for Scotswood, Manchester United and Southampton.[1]
Football career
Curry joined Southampton from Manchester United's reserve team in May 1911. He found few opportunities to break into the first team as the Saints struggled near the foot of the Southern League First Division and was used as cover for Jim McAlpine.[2] Even when he did manage to play, he had a propensity to get injured and struggled to get fit. After a frustrating season, he retired from the professional game and returned to his native north-east[3] where he turned out occasionally for West Stanley.
