He couldn't play for shit. That's what Tony Currie says about five men who made his life hell. But here's the twist. In the brutal world of 1970s football, calling someone shit didn't mean they were bad. It meant they were a nightmare. It meant they destroyed you every single time you faced them.
At 75 years old, Tony Currie is one of the last voices from football's most violent era. He played over 500 league games. He scored 80 goals. He was an artist in a decade of thugs. And when he names five players who were shit to play against, he's not insulting them. He's paying them the ultimate compliment. These five men made being Tony Currie almost impossible.
Currie was a flair player. That was almost an insult back then. Managers like Don Revie used the term to suggest you were lazy. Currie relied on time, space, and rhythm. He needed a moment to think. A pocket of space to operate. The five men on his list destroyed all of that. They took away his safety. They took away his space. They took away his time. And one of them took away his belief that he was special at all.
