Edward 'Terry' Curran was born in Hemsworth, Yorkshire on 20th March 1955. He signed for Doncaster Rovers from junior football as a highly promising winger in July 1973 and made 68 appearances scoring 11 goals before being transferred to Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest for £60,000 in August 1975.
In two seasons at the City Ground he played 48 games scoring 12 goals before a £50,000 move to Derby County in November 1977. 26 games and 2 goals later he moved to Southampton for £60,000 and made 26 appearances for the Saints in the 1978-79 season.
Curran was then signed by Sheffield Wednesday in March 1979 for a £100,000 fee and made 125 appearances scoring 35 goals in three seasons. Curran was considered one of the most talented players to ever play for Wednesday but after helping them to promotion he moved on again - across the city to Sheffield United. For another £100,000 fee but was less successful making 33 appearances scoring 3 goals.
He then moved to Everton after a promising loan spell but only made 24 appearances scoring 1 goal in three seasons at Goodison Park before a free transfer move to Huddersfield Town in July 1985. He scored 7 goals in 35 games for Huddersfield but then moved to play abroad signing for Greek club Panionis, returning to England in October 1986 to play a brief spell with Hull City.
His non-league management career began with Goole Town before he was appointed manager of Mossley in November 1992. His spell at Seel Park was considered disastrous and seven successive heavy defeats later he was dismissed following a 6-1 home NPL Cup thrashing by Emley.
Curran was later a newsagent in Bradford.
