Tom Curle
Tom Curle is an English former professional footballer. He made appearances in the Football League for Mansfield Town and Chester City, where his father Keith Curle had spells as manager.
Curle made his professional debut as a late substitute in Mansfield's 1–0 home defeat to Yeovil Town on 20 September 2003. This was to be his only league appearance for the Stags, but he did feature in two LDV Vans Trophy one of which was against Darlington FC which saw top hit an audacious shot from 35 yards which rattled the cross bar. The same season saw him have a spell on trial with Chelsea, spending a month there on trial playing in reserve games.
The trial did not lead to a permanent contract and Curle played for Bradford Park Avenue until he followed Keith to Chester in time for the 2005-06 season. Once again Curle's appearances were limited and just two substitute league appearances and another LDV Vans Trophy outing followed. He remained at the club after Keith left in February 2006, but the following month he was released.
