Alexander Binnie (born 1905; date of death unknown) was a Scottish football goalkeeper who played for Kilsyth Rangers, Partick Thistle, Port Vale, and Hamilton Academical in the 1920s.
Career
Binnie played for Kilsyth Rangers and Partick Thistle,[2] before joining Port Vale on trial in September 1926.[1] He kept a clean sheet in his debut in a draw with Hull City at Anlaby Road on 25 September, but failed to impress in his three other Second Division games.[1] With goalkeepers George Holdcroft and Tom Fern already at The Old Recreation Ground there was no room for Binnie, and he moved back to Scotland to play for Hamilton Academical.[1][3][4]
