Tony Currie....hero or villain?

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Tony Currie.

Who's decided to 'judge' him on a purely personal experience that no one else on here was party to?

Who are 'you' to judge?

If you're judging him as a footballer, regardless of who he's played for.....

So much potential, that at times was severely wasted by England managers, purely because he was at Sheffield United.

although my personal fave was woody.. so underrated it was unreal

Currie is a villain to me!

Not old enough to have seen him play but when I was 11 or 12 we played United in a charity cricket match. He smashed me for 4 6's in 4 balls.

I was devastated. Managed to get him out on 5th ball though.

Watched SUFC staff play at Eckington in August 1993. When batting TC liked to try and smash every ball!

To us a hero , but what do you reckon other supporters thought of his blowing kisses to the crowd after skinning one of the opposing teams players?
Ross Barkley raised his arms in the air celebrating even before putting the ball in the net on Saturday. Ian Wright thought it was great to see but would he have thought the same if it had been Arsenal that Ross had done it to?

Personally would have loved it had he missed as that would have been really entertaining!
As for the hero or villain thing, Bremner at dirty Leeds sticks out to me as a total hero at Leeds but despised everywhere else and for different reasons as most on here will know. (A vile dirty bastard for our younger fans).

So hero or villain? What other players stand out? Maybe it's the other way round for some, as seeing a player being a villain at their own club then becoming a hero at another club after moving on......over to you.

He's neither
He's a fooookin GOD
