Hughie Curran RIP
As a kid in the late 60s my Uncle and I used to attend games at Molineux. After the game we used to walk down the alley to Waterloo Road and hope to see players coming from the main entrance, for autographs etc and you could have a good natter with some of them. One chap we saw walking towards us in a dark raincoat was Hugh Curran. We politely stopped him for a minute, he signed the programme and we chatted.
He was a friendly, affable chap and as a player he never gave less than 100%. Saw him score some cracking goals, his timing and powerful heading ability was superb. I'll always remember Hughie, just for the fact that he stopped to spend time with a young fan, it made my day. Thank you Mr Curran, for all of the great qualities you had as player and as a fine human being.

A little shocked to read this this morning. Hughie Curran R.I.P.
Despite knowing him at Wolves, he also played at Oxford and subsequently ran a couple of pubs near me. He happily chatted and signed one of the Wolves books in my collection, but I spent an evening chatting to him at a birthday party we were both invited to.
He was entertaining and reminisced about his time at Molineux and as an international for Scotland.
His memories weren't maybe as I recalled, and he openly admitted that a fan's view wasn't always the same as a player's.
A very amicable man who was perhaps underrated at times. God's rest, and all thoughts, of course, to family and friends.
