Biography

Duff was signed from Perth YMCA in late February 1931 after an initial trial match and he slotted into the team at left half for the rest of the 1930-31 campaign. He continued to feature at left half throughout the early 1930s and rarely missed a game during this time. During the 1934-35 season he began to be used more in the forward line, featured mainly as an outside left but also being utilised at inside right. He continued to feature in the left half position as well as playing in the forward line when required, mainly covering for injuries, for the next several campaigns before dropping out the team in September 1937 and featuring in only five further competitive games that season before being given a free transfer in May 1938.

He went on to sign for St Johnstone and appeared for their A team during the 1938-39 season before rejoining ourselves in mid November 1939 and featuring reguarly during the rest of the 1939-40 campaign before leaving the club when we ceased football operations due to WW2.
