Who remembers Terry Curran?

Quoted from Badger57

He "starred" in my text adventure game I wrote for the ZX Spectrum. The game was titled, "Quest For The Golden Cod Fillets" and featured local landmarks. The idea was to collect 6 golden cod fillets, find the key to the dock tower and climb to the summit of the dock tower to free a princess. (I think! That long ago!)
Anyway, I digress. One of the  gcf's was secreted in the ball that Terry Curran skied over the bar repeatedly (wishful thinking when he played for Wednesday against us ) into the Pontoon!!!!
P.S. I fixed the score in the game so that Town won every time!  

How could you come up with such tosh?!!!



Cod! Why not haddock?

Because ,"Quest For The Golden Haddock Fillets" didn't quite sound right to me and that title didn't fit well on the cassette sleeve that I made on my tiny little Sinclair thermal printer, that's why!!! Lololol

I wasted 2 years of my life trying to play that game

Remember a match at BP and TC getting no joy against Kev Moore at left-back - and after about 25 minutes made a
ceremony of moving to the other wing....where the first pass he received was a 50-50 challenge with John Stone at right-back.
TC came off far the worse, and disappeared for the rest of the game.

(tbf he generally caused us problems, but not on this particular day.  What wouldn't we give for that full-back pairing now? )

Quoted from golfer

You are right Ron -it was in 1984 when he played for Everton  PS  if you are on medication try to give it up-my medication was making me do funny things until I gave it up--look at me now

Seems to me like they've doubled the dose mate.
I suggest you employ a food taster as in days of old  

Quoted from mimma

Terry Curran was a good player. I remember him as a winger.  He scored against us for Wednesday when he ran at our defence, skipped a couple of tackles and hammered in the back of the net at the Osmond end.

He was one of those players that enjoyed winding the crowd up, so he was always the target of the opposition fans.

(through gritted teeth)  he was a good player, with a bit of a swagger about him.

That`s how I remember him also.Whenever his name appeared on a teamsheet you always thought of him being a threat.I was over the moon when Town got him but he played in a  dreadful side and TC being pretty much a flair player he wasn`t right for us at that time. The highlight of his Town career and probably the best home game that Season was a 0-0 draw with Notts County.TC got the ball went on a mazy run seemingly beating half the County side sat the keeper down and with a baying Pontoon and an open goal begging hit the bloody crossbar.Same game Steve Sherwood made the best penalty save I have ever witnessed amazing I can remember snippets from a game in 87/88 but not what I did half hour ago?
