| Just finished reading Terry Newton's autobiography,struggling to get my head around it all.
It was crazy what he did with the drugs,but he owned up and I honestly don't think anyone thought any the worse of him.
Seemed like a very popular and likeable guy with his fellow players despite treading a fine line at times.
Tomorrow is exactly one year since we lost him
RIP Tez
A memorial game is coming up soon at Orrell I think,would be good to see a few Rhinos' players and supporters there.

| I thoroughly enjoyed reading his autobiography, i thought he was just a very naive and impulsive person who for what ever reason took the wrong options throughout his life
Tez was a lovable rogue though and also a very good RL player
Is it really 12 months?
RIP Terry

| A tormented sole with a tragic and premature end to his life.
Can’t pretend that I ever liked the bloke but no-one deserves to feel like there are no more options in life.
Also can’t believe that it’s been a year.

| I thought he was a cracking player who played the game old school. I liked him as a player.
As an individual, I didn't know him so I won't feign any sympathy for his situation but I do feel genuine sympathy for the family members he left behind.

| cracking player, he played on the edge tough uncompromising but skillful and worked hard at his game.
been in his comany a few times and he was a cracking lad off the pitch a great laugh and genuinely friendly,
years after meeting him i saw him at amir kahn's pro debut at bolton and as we walked up to take our seats he pulled my arm and said "hey up mate, aren't you talking?" it must have been 5 years since i saw him but he recognised me and took time to say hello.

| A few years ago, in a somewhat merry state, I asked Terry for a photograph as he walked across the pitch to the bar after the match at The Stoop. He happily obliged but didn't smile at all, miserable bugger. Turns out he'd broken his jaw during that match. Not saying I treasure the photo or anything OTT but looking at it makes me a bit sad still. Good bloke.

I'll second that.
I would like to think part of his legacy will be to have heightened awareness of some of the mental health and other issues facing RL players, especially at the end of their careers when their whole adult working life may look to have suddenly come to an abrupt end. Surely part of securing a SL licence should be clubs having programmes to help retiring players in the transition to what they do after, including encouraging and facilitating education and training? I believe this is something Leeds have been strong on? Maybe some central funding would be needed?
