Some dodgy barnets in that photo. Almost makes me glad to be a baldie. 

Tony Currie Testimonial 1986. Dennis Waterman XII match against a Tony Currie XII.

Tony Currie joined Sheffield United on the 1st of February 1968 for £26,500. He scored on his debut against Tottenham Hotspur with a header on 26 February but missed the next game on 2 March as it was his wedding day. ‘TC’ as he was nicknamed by Sheffield United fans, was idolised in his time at Bramall Lane. During his time at Sheffield United, he broke into the England team, winning the first of his 17 caps in 1972. He went on to score 54 goals in 313 appearances and was made captain by manager Ken Furphy in March 1974. His career was badly affected by injuries, and he dropped out of league football and into semi-retirement from the game, before being appointed Football in the Community co-ordinator at Sheffield United in February 1988.

His Testimonial match in 1986 was a star-studded affair, with two teams made up showbiz names and football legends, and was the biggest gate of that season at Bramall Lane. More than 17,500 fans saw the promotion side of 1971 take on Dennis Waterman’s Showbiz XII in what proved to be a very entertaining game.

Dennis Waterman’s Showbiz XI

Dennis Waterman’s Showbiz XII consisted of Mick Miller, Ian Botham, Dennis Waterman, George Best, Chris Quinten, Geoff Hurst, Frank Worthington, Roy McFarland, Archie Gemmill, Bill McMurdo, Billy Bremner, Allan Clarke, Alan Hudson, Paul Heaton, Keith Edwards, Glenn Cockerill, Jimmy Johnstone, and Bomber Graham.  Quite a handy side. Why did they play with twelve men? Because the other side had Tony Currie and it was only fair.

Best & Heaton

The Housemartins played on a stage set up on John St terrace, led by passionate Blade Paul Heaton, and Chris Quentin mooned the Kop. George Best scored a belter and Tony Currie missed a penalty.
