Duncan Fraser McClure (10 June 1913 – May 1991) was a Scottish footballer who played as a left back, with Heart of Midlothian being his only club at professional level; taking all cups and unofficial wartime competitions into account, he made over 400 appearances for the Edinburgh club.[1] He was selected to play for Scotland in an unofficial wartime international fixture in 1940.[2]
After retiring as a player, McClure continued to work for Hearts for eight more years as a coach and scout,[1] with Alex Young being one of his 'spots' in 1954.[3]
