Ipswich Town midfielder Darren Currie says he is hoping to make Saturday a bad day for his uncle Tony Currie.

Tony Currie, England and Sheffield United legend still works at the Bramall Lane as part of the blades community team but the Town midfielder is not going to show any sense of family unity tomorrow.

 

Darren: “I spoke to my uncle earlier in the week and he is quite happy with the way the season is going and is quite confident that he is finally going to see his beloved Blades back in the Premiership but I'm looking to spoil his party on Saturday. No doubt I will catch up with him after the game and have a chat but, hopefully, he will have the hump.

 

“Now we have got Sheffield United and they will be fresh after resting half-a-dozen players against Colchester and wanting to put that FA Cup defeat behind them.

 

“They are now looking at the run into the Premiership and, like we were this time last year, are in a position where they won't fear anyone.

 

“They will come to Portman Road flying high but we can surprise them. I'm sure word has got round football that we are playing a lot better than results suggest and we are in decent form now and will be wary of us.

 

“They know that we are the sort of team that, on a good day, can play well enough to turn them over.

 

“It is a big game for both of us and we are looking for a little surge towards the play-offs.”
