Sammy Curran

[2] Individual highlights included a hat-trick in the 3-2 Irish Cup final victory over Linfield and a brace in a 4-2 friendly win against Glasgow Celtic on Easter Monday 1926.

[2] Over the next few seasons Curran couldn't stop scoring, as Belfast Celtic went on to claim four consecutive League titles, plus further successes in the City Cup and the County Antrim Shield.

[2] Having scored over 170 goals for Celtic, Curran moved on to Derry City playing in their first match as a senior side on 22 August 1929.

Two days later he had the honour of scoring the club's first senior hat-trick, as Derry came back from 5-1 down against Portadown, only to lose 6–5 to a late goal.

A personal highlight for Curran was his hat-trick back at the Brandywell, although the final score of Derry City 7, Bangor 4 no doubt took some of the gloss of the achievement.
