Imperfect10 – The Man Behind The Magic

Imperfect 10 – The Man Behind The Magic 

‘A quality player deserves a quality book…and this is it’ – The Yorkshire Post

‘Tony Currie was a brilliant talent’ – Pele

‘He was a great player. He could do everything. He had so much ability; he had it to burn. To waste, really.’ – Alan Ball MBE

‘Tony got a number of England caps but, ability-wise, it should have been more’ – Sir Trevor Brooking

Imperfect 10 is a searingly honest account of the life of Tony Currie, a footballing genius whose character and personality are worlds apart from the on-field extrovert who thrilled the crowds. Currie had outrageous skills and the confidence to sit on the ball during a game or blow kisses to his adoring fans. 

He also had a damning relationship at international level and the team trophies he craved eluded him as his private life fell apart. But he had the crowd on his side throughout, before the crippling self-doubt and dwindling self-esteem brought him to his knees as he drifted towards retirement and life after football. 

Currie is a living legend, who almost didn’t have the will to hang around to see it.
