Football career
Born in Newcastle upon Tyne, Curry started his career at Scotswood, before joining Manchester United in February 1908. Over the next three years, he spent most of the time in the reserves, but made a total of 14 first-team appearances.
Curry joined Southampton from Manchester United 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. 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 where he turned out occasionally for West Stanley.
