Albert Edward Curly Denyer (9 April 1893 – 1969) was an English professional footballer who made over 320 appearances in the Football League for Swindon Town as a forward.[1][2][3][4][5]
Denyer's brother Frank and son Bertie were also footballers.[6][7] Denyer served as a sergeant in the Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment) during the First World War and was severely wounded, losing half of his intestines.[8][7] After his retirement from football he became landlord of the Running Horse pub in Swindon.[7]
