Dermot Curtis

Dermot Curtis was born in County Dublin on 26 August 1932, entering the world as a small creature destined to strike fear into defensive lines across two nations. He became a relentless centre-forward for Shelbourne, Bristol City, Ipswich Town and Exeter City, scoring ninety-three league goals before illness took him in Exeter on 1 November 2008. His life moved from Irish streets to English pitches, marking him as a border-crossing force whose body remained a weapon long after geography changed.
