Curran, Hugh I never knew Hugh was from Carstairs Village. I now live in Carnwath the next village. I am a boyhood Bolton Wanderers supporter who watched him play for Bolton in the early 70’s. How bizarre I end up living & retired in the next village to where he was born & lived. Unbelievable.

Curran, Hugh Hugh made his debut for Norwich at Carrow Road against Carlisle United. I remember vividly Norwich getting a throw in about ten yards from the corner flag. Over it came like a corner kick. The Carlisle defence seemed frozen to the spot in shock as were the fans but not Ron Davies. Quick flick of the head and goal Norwich. Great player and just another Norwich sold too cheaply.

Curran, Hugh We loved Hugh Curran at Carrow Road. We used to sing to a well known Beatle song… na na na na na Hey Hugh. The bravest forward I have ever watched in the footy game. He was a treat alongside ‘The Mighty John Manning’ (sung to a well known tune). An exciting forward line!!!

Curran, Hugh Always remember Hughie signing for my team Wolves and being excited as he had scored so many goals for Norwich. I was never disappointed and even now I look on him as one the finest players we ever had despite the glut of strikers we had at that time. His heading ability and style was terrific and he scored some great and important goals. Will remember always.

Curran, Hugh Hugh was a godsend for Norwich City. Very well built and loved to get in were it hurt. Never shirked in the penalty area we were sad to see him leave Norwich. Did not suffer many injuries at City but i belive he did near the end of his career.
Curran, Hugh During the 1963/64 season Hugh played in the Southern League for Corby Town. He supplemented his football earnings by working as an industrial window cleaner by day and singing in local pubs in the evenings. He joined Millwall for ????3,000 in March, 1964.
