Duncan Urquhart

Duncan Urquhart (born 18 August 1908)[1] was a Scottish footballer, who played for Hibernian, Aberdeen, Barrow[1] and Waterford. Urquhart represented Scotland once, in a 1934 British Home Championship match against Wales.[2][3]

Urquhart, a "tough tackler" from Newton Stewart, was signed by Hibs during the 1929–30 season.[4] Urquhart was part of the side as Hibs were relegated the following season,[4] but then gained promotion back to the top flight in 1933. 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.[5] In September 1939 Urquhart was signed by Waterford[6] and during his time there was also selected once for the League of Ireland XI.
