Former football maverick Terry Curran shares shocking insights from his time at Sheffield Wednesday FC and Nottingham Forest alongside legendary manager Brian Clough. Listen as he reveals behind-the-scenes stories and memorable moments from his career.
During his 13-year tenure, Terry played for an impressive 16 football clubs across England and Europe, leaving a mark on each team. Notably, his role in Sheffield Wednesday FC’s resurgence during the late 1970s and early 1980s is etched in the memories of the club’s loyal supporters.
One of the most memorable moments was when Brian Clough expressed interest in signing Terry but was deterred by the hefty price tag. Instead, he tactfully informed Terry’s brother, leading to a strategic move that eventually landed Terry at Nottingham Forest for £50,000 in August 1975.
His time at Forest was impactful, with 48 games played and 12 goals scored, contributing to the team’s promotion to Division One in the 1976–77 season.
