Stats
Bio
A local product recruited from the renowned Richmond All Blacks in the Victorian Junior League, Jack Currie was a promising smaller-sized utility who earned his stripes at Punt Road on the eve of the Second World War. Standing at 175cm, he was noted for his reliable kicking and broke into the senior side midway through the 1939 season, part of a "younger brigade" of talent blooded by the club during a strong campaign that saw the Tigers finish fourth. Currie managed six senior appearances in that competitive lineup, often filling roles in the defensive half or as a fringe follower. His VFL career was ultimately confined to that single season, with his time at the top level cut short just as global hostilities began to impact the league's playing lists.
