A great player for Bradford Northern scoring many goals/tries.He was an excellent goal kicker and superb ball handler.He didn't take many backward steps either.Yes he signed not that long after reformation and was one of the main players who got Northern back up the ladder.A sad loss.

RIP Terry Clawson,a true NORTHERN great.

Seconded

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.
