I saw TC play many games for Northern during the sixties, though I was living abroad when he returned. Two incidents involving Terry have always stuck in mind, both relating to penalty kicks. The first was a successful penalty conversion from just inside his own half, kicking with the toe and without a tee of course, while the second I’d not seen before or since, and probably is/was illegal, though the referee allowed it at the time.

If memory serves, it came in a 14-2 home win against York, during which I was working the old scoreboard at the tip end. Northern, playing towards that end, were awarded a penalty approximately 35 yards out and 10 yards in from touch on the big stand side.

Having indicated a kick at goal, placing, lining up and retreating from the ball, Terry suddenly changed his body stance and kicked the ball into touch on the bounce- the referee bizarrely ordering a scrum. I seem to remember Alan Kellett sending Alan Clarkson in for one of Northern’s two tries- could be mistaken.

It’s sad to hear of another hero from the sixties/seventies era passing on, condolences to Terry’s family; he leaves many of us with some happy memories.

I'm surprised and a bit disappointed that no-one at the club recognised Terry's passing and we didn't have the very appropriate minutes' silence yesterday and I can't understand why.

That's a disgrace.
