Nelson is a relatively young captain, but his lack of numbers in age doesn't show at all in the way he plays.
Nelson joined from the Stoke youth academy, and made his debut aged just 17. 4 years have passed, and nearly 150 games later, Curtis is looking like a leader who can help take Argyle upwards.
