Little things like picking their kit up, acknowledging what i was doing and saying thankyou. Curtis always had time for the young players, he would ask how we were, always used our first name, and listen to us. Biggest bellend was jimmy gilligan.
Curtis was a gent

Same as Tommy Hucthison , the Scottish fella who played for the jacks till he was 90

When he stopped playing he got a job as a schools coach in South Wales

Lovely guy to chat to , even in his later years at Swansea he had so much time on the ball and never panicked . I told him that and he put out his hand and said thank you son 😂

And with that he was back on the field coaching the kids

Imagine that ......having incredible natural talent , getting paid for playing the game then teaching kids to do the same , giving them confidence and mentoring them

Can't fault it
