Dave (Cudge.) Curry
Dave (Cudge) Curry is Eric Grove’s closest friend. The son of an Irish Rag ‘N Bone man, he’d been Eric’s number two as long as he could remember. They were inseparable, spending most of their free time playing football and equally leading each other into uncharted situations of excitement and misdemeanour. Rules were broken without respect for consequences that, often resulted in a presentation before the school’s head teacher and several lashes of a leather strap.
