[1] Recruited from the Christian Young Men's Society in 1931, Curcio was a tough, hard ruckman, who also played well in the back line.

Ever conscious of safeguarding his hands to work the strings of the bass violin, he once told North Melbourne's Fred Fairweather, Hit me as hard as you like, but don't hurt my fingers.

[4] Curcio retired in 1948, after 15 seasons and having played 249 VFL games, all with Fitzroy, collecting 27 Brownlow Medal votes.

[5] Curcio's club games record stood for 23 years at Fitzroy until surpassed by Kevin Murray.

He also held the record for most VFL/AFL matches played in the number 18 guernsey with 249 until Essendon's Matthew Lloyd surpassed that figure in 2008.
