Career
editKnown for his pace and able to run 100m in less than 11 seconds at Queen's Park Rangers,[1] Currie was loaned out to Singaporean S.League side Hougang United in 1999, where he scored a David Beckham style free kick live on tv, was MOM in the All Stars v Singapore international team creating 5 assists and was compared to England international Steve McManaman.[2] However, despite his successful spell in Singapore, Currie sustained a shattered metatarsal[2] upon return to Queen's Park Rangers before being released in 2001.[3] After that, he played for the England beach football team in Marseille against Eric Cantonas French team, scoring 4 goals and went on to play for a series of English non-league outfits.[3]
