Alan Curtis Biography

Alan Curtis is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on April 16, 1954 in Pentre, Pentre, United Kingdom. He was born in Pentre, Rhondda on 16 April 1954 to Tydfil and Albert Curtis, a factory worker and coal miner respectively. His uncle, Roy Paul, was a Wales international footballer. He had an unsuccessful trial at Manchester United as a 13-year-old. He represented Rhondda Schools, where he was spotted by Swansea City and offered a trial. He chose to remain at his local Grammar school and pass his A-levels before going to Vetch Field for a trial in 1972, by which time he had already won a Wales under-18 cap.

Griffiths switched Curtis from his usual outside-left to a centre-forward position during the 1975–76 campaign, and the move worked out so well that he remained a striker for the remainder of his career. He claimed nine goals in 43 games, as Swansea improved to an 11th-place finish. He scored 17 goals in 53 appearances during the 1976–77 campaign, but Swansea missed out on promotion after finishing one point behind Bradford City despite boasting the highest goals tally in the Football League.

A disappointing start to the 1977–78 season cost Griffiths his job, and new appointment John Toshack managed to take the club to promotion, with Curtis claiming 34 goals in 46 games to become the division’s top-scorer that season. On 12 November, Curtis scored a hat-trick during a home win over Crewe Alexandra. He also claimed a hat-trick in an 8–0 victory over Hartlepool United.

He moved back to Swansea City and helped them gain promotion to the First Division in 1980–81. He scored in the South Wales derby on 27 December 1980, in a 3–3 draw with Cardiff City at Ninian Park.

Despite being retained by Gregg, Curtis had to work as a builder’s apprentice during the summer of 1973 to supplement his low income. Despite the arrival of John Charles as a coach and Herbie Way’s promotion to player-coach, Gregg continued the physical style of football favoured by Bentley that did not suit Curtis well. Regardless of being ill-suited to this approach Curtis established himself as a first-team regular and made 40 appearances in the 1973–74 season. Gregg left Swansea midway through the 1974–75 campaign, and new manager Harry Griffiths insisted on playing a pass-and-move style of football. Initial results were poor, and the club had to apply for re-election after finishing 22nd at the end of the campaign.
