Animis Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 2 hours ago, Musn't Grumble said: I vaguely remember that there was talk that Curran was on standby for the England squad, a rare occasion that a player form the third tier had been called up. The only other player in modern times called up to the full England squad was Peter Taylor who was then playing for Crystal Palace in the old Third Division so even talk of Curran being called up showed how good he was for a couple of seasons. I think that was later in 1981 when we started the season with the good run and Match of the Day covered us against Luton and TC ripped them apart. Remember Jimmy Hill saying England could do worst than calling up TC for the team. I think Steve Bull was playing for Wolves in the third tier when he played for England in the home internationals around 88 time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curran was on fire and Jimmy Hill did indeed say the above. He was right too, TC was such a mercurial character that he could well have played well for England at that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a player, so many good memories of him, taunting the pigs on boxing day, the screamer he scored at the lane and stamping on tony kenworthys toes and then laughing at him. I remember him having a wager with Jack Charlton, Jack saying he would pay him £50 for every headed goal he scored, next game he scored with a header at Grimsby and then a few games later, rounded the keeper sank to his knees and nodded the ball over the line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eguin Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 My favorite player ever. 100% no matter who Terry signed for. Great guy and a true legend. His son hopefully will be too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfie Tupper Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 He was tough as well. No matter how much of a kicking he took from those 3rd division defenders, he just got up and carried on - and Jeff Johnson sorted out the culprit a few minutes later - great days. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mus Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I were once in that bastion of a class nightclub Josephines back in the day, pissed out of my head having the usual crap night when I spots Terry with some very attractive blonde having a meal, I couldn't believe it, there he was, my hero! So I shoved my head through the bars, a bit like Jack Nicholson in The Shining and shouts "I love you Terry, I love you". God knows what him and his lady friend thought but he just smiled and nodded, very cool he was. It made me night. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scilly owl Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 His autobiography is an entertaining read, but only if you are Wednesday fan. One if the best games that I saw him play was away at Luton in the old second division. He took the wee wee out of the Luton back four all afternoon. People were calling for him to be picked for England after that match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musn't Grumble Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Had the wonderful honour of playing alongside Terry Curran in a charity match at Hillsborough about 15 years ago. Poor bloke wasn't very fit. For all he was concerned, we might well have been playing in a Champions League Final such was his commitment and he ran his legs off before being helped off the field just after half time. I also played alongside David Hirst in a similar fixture. He played the game in exactly the same spirit. It was friendly but I remember having to calm him down at half time to stop him biffing the opposition centre half. Two stories that will be told to my grand kids many times as they grow up, no doubt! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
