Duncan Urquhart
Duncan Urquhart (18 August 1908 – 28 April 1956) was a Scottish footballer, who played for Hibernian, Aberdeen, Barrow, and Waterford.[1][2] Urquhart represented Scotland once, in a 1934 British Home Championship match against Wales.[3][4]
Career[edit]
Urquhart, a "tough tackler" from Newton Stewart, was signed by Hibs during the 1929–30 season.[5] Urquhart was part of the side as Hibs were relegated the following season, but then gained promotion back to the top flight in 1933.[5] He won his only cap for Scotland later that year, but was released by Hibs in 1935 after a heavy Edinburgh derby defeat by Hearts; Urquhart then signed for Aberdeen.[6] In September 1939 Urquhart was signed by Waterford and during his time there was also selected once for the League of Ireland XI.[7]
Personal life[edit]
In 1956, Urquhart died in Edinburgh, Scotland at the age of 47.[2]
