Love this coming from a Manchester City fan! Deffo not from Wonky OwlThe highlights and the punditry segment where Brian Moore and Malcolm Allison discuss Tony Currie (for just under two-and-a-half minutes starting from 31 mins 40 secs) are essential viewing for anyone who didn't see TC play but wants to understand what the fuss was about.
He looked easily the best player on the pitch even though there were some really outstanding individuals on both sides. Meanwhile Allison, probably the best coach in the country in this era (a hopeless manager, mind!), compares him to Günther Netzer, generally rated the world's top midfielder at the time. On that performance, you can absolutely see why.
I did see Currie play for the Blades in 1975/6, the first season I started watching top-level football, but I was a six-year-old and remember little of what I witnessed on the pitch in those early days. So my memories of Currie are of him playing for Leeds (in particular, that amazing bending shot to score against Southampton), for England under Ron Greenwood (he scored a cracker away to Wales when the British Championship was still a thing) and for QPR in the 1982 FA Cup final (the game was billed as Currie v Hoddle).
These extended highlights show the impact he could have on a whole game rather than just individual flashes of brilliance I previously remember. It's no wonder that the older Blades fans love him so much.

Also they weren’t yes men and Revie seemed more at home with that type of personalityLasr night I was only watching TC and AH paying tribute to Frank Worthington on Alan Hudson's podcast .. Salmons became big mates with Hudson at Stoke.
They mentioned when TC, Huddy, Stan Bowles, Charlie George, Rodney Marsh and Frank were called aside by Revie and told they weren't in his Plans for England...Madness to discard all that talent.
Especially if they said yes and we will pay you.Also they weren’t yes men and Revie seemed more at home with that type of personality
