**Joseph Curry** (1887 – 1 April 1936)[1] was an English [footballer](/source/Association_football) who played at [full-back](/source/Defender_(association_football)#Full-back) for [Manchester United](/source/Manchester_United_F.C.) and [Southampton](/source/Southampton_F.C.) in the early 20th century.[2]

## Football career

Born in [Newcastle upon Tyne](/source/Newcastle_upon_Tyne), Curry started his career at [Scotswood](/source/Scotswood_F.C.), before joining [Manchester United](/source/Manchester_United_F.C.) in February 1908.[3] Over the next three years, he spent most of the time in the reserves, but made a total of 14 first-team appearances.[3]

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](/source/Southern_Football_League) and was used as cover for [Jim McAlpine](/source/Jim_McAlpine).[4] 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[5] where he turned out occasionally for [West Stanley](/source/West_Stanley_F.C.).[1]
