Soccer: Currie is a fan of ace Owen

From the archive, first published Friday 12th Aug 2005.

Owen Garvan has already won plenty of fans during his time at Ipswich Town - but none more so than team-mate Darren Currie.

And the midfield general believes Garvan can produce another dominant performance in tomorrow's Coca-Cola Championship clash at Leicester.

Garvan, 17, had a quiet match in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat at Queens Park Rangers. But he made an exceptional debut in Saturday's 1-0 success against Cardiff at Portman Road.

And Currie told the Gazette: "Owen's fantastic and he's only going to get better with more experience.

"He's got a very old head on such young shoulders and his confidence and self-belief will take him a very long way in the game.

"What I like about him is the fact he does the simple things well. He's not afraid to play short, straightforward passes and he always seems to make the right option."
