Popular Post dunsbyowl Posted March 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) Big Jack snapped of one of the most entertaining players I have seen in the famous Blue & White. Best £100,000 I've seen spent by the Wednesday worth it for Boxing Day and that stunner at the Lane and a wonderful contribution to the 1979/80 promotion campaign and return to the second divsision. What a star Terry Curran. Edited March 29, 2019 by dunsbyowl 17 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sternlad Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Reyt bargain! One of those players who electrified the crowd when he picked up the ball. That goal at the sty was incredible really cos he had no right to score from where he set off. Wee Willie Henderson was the same type of player, but alas as blind as a bat, so he would quite often dribble it up to his own goal, realise he was at the wrong end, then dribble it back again. Entertaining...but not the same end product as TC. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watto Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 TC was a real hero of the late 70's early 80's , proper talisman and good player , he dropped down from the old 1st Division with Southampton to join us in the 3rd Division and was the best player in that league by a country mile. The goal at the lane was live long in my memory and was shown on match of the day , back then they only had 2 games on as highlights so it was fantastic we could see that goal again that night 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owler66 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I was 12 at the time was and is still my favourite Wednesday player, TC in full flight was something to see 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbo48 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Wasn’t it when Jack switched him from the wing to a more central role that he had that electrifying spell where he was totally unplayable? I was in the stand at the Lane that day and was right behind it when the ball left his foot and you could see it bending in. That goal and Hirstys and Tudgays are the best we’ve ever scored against them at their place. A genuine cult hero who came after a period when we’d had precious little to get excited about 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 TC and big Andy Mac were probably the best strike pairing I've ever seen play for Wednesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was amongst everyone’s favourite players from that era. Just looked on Wiki to see what happened to him after he left us and apparently he ended up at Palace. He comments that the most emotional thing that happened to him in football was returning to Hillsborough with Palace and getting a standing ovation from the whole ground.

In my time watching Wednesday since the late 70s it would be hard to say which was better between TC/ Andy Mc in 79/80, Bannister/Varadi in 83/84 and Hirst/Williams in 90/91. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nut Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I read somewhere that Big Jack was talking to Lawrie Mcmenemy at a dinner regarding signing one of his players (I think it was Ted McDougal). Anyway, Jack being Jack and getting his wires crossed, he ended up signing TC instead. Not sure if that's true but you could believe it knowing how Jack was. Certainly worked in our favour with the massive impact TC had on the club. We still toast him before every home game! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardo Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I remember it dragging on for a bit. Southampton were in the cup and wanted to keep him a bit longer. In the end all turned out well. I was 15 at the time and was my first real hero... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
