Quote Cheshire Tiger="Cheshire Tiger"As a player, he was a man I loved to hate. Another was Shaun Edwards. If a player makes you feel something like that its because they had the ability to hurt your team, Terry Newton had that.
Id have loved to play in the same team as him.
One of the enduring images of the Super League era is his tears at a Grand Final loss. He crossed the line yes, but he wanted to win so much - and there is nothing wrong in that.
Those in our game will remember your talent Terry, not the other stuff. Your truly one of us.
God bless, hope you have some peace now. You wont be forgotten x'"
As a Wigan fan I loved him - similar to how Saints fans loved Longy, Warrington fans love Lee Briers, Rhinos fans with Bailey etc. To the opposition fans, Terry was a man everyone loved to hate, but for the fans of which ever club he played for they adored him.
His sheer determination, his willingness to stand up and be counted, his fearless attitude and win at all costs ethos - very much similar to Lombardiasm.
As a young player who was new to RL I looked upto the likes of Terry Newton, Terry O'Connor and Andy Farrell. I adored them and I wanted to play like them everytime I turned out for my team.
RIP Terry. Sit yourself down with the Big Guy upstairs, we'll remember you for who and what you were - a Warrior in every sense of the word.
