A little blast from the past when my brother phoned me yesterday.
He volunteers at a dog rescue place out in the sticks in North Nottinghamshire and a big, affable old guy comes in looking to adopt a dog. "Don't I know you?" asks my brother - and it was only Tony Currie!
Anyway, they had a cup of tea and a chat and TC is 71 now (crazy really, Tony Currie's in his 70s!) and still coaching youngsters at Sheffield United.
I used to love Tony Currie when he played for us. Not a typical Leeds player really but he was a star in what was, by the late-70s, a declining team. I remember being really dismayed when TC left for QPR - and it all seemed to go downhill from there.
ps. I'm not sure how far they got with the dog

Re: Tony Currie
Tony Currie was my first Leeds hero (I was just too late for the Revie era).
Owners come and go but Leeds United will be there forever, for the fans - keep Marching on Together.

Re: Tony Currie
He was indeed a bright star in a darkening sky. Gave us Leeds fans plenty to be happy about
