He was a centre-half (central defender). He used to tell how he once jumped up with the opposing centre-forward to head the ball; he jumped with his mouth open, and came down with a mouthful of the forward's skin from the back of his neck.[5]
Christie was born in Hebburn, Durham, the son of William Davidson Christie and Janet Borland. He married Greta Margaret Pratt in 1936.[6]
