I didnt bother replying to his drivel. Anyone with any brain and knowledge of RL knows you cannot have a 15 yr SL career and win caps and medals by merely being a thug.

I admitted I was not fan of his as a player, but he didnt play for my club did he? If he did, he'd have been adored by me Im sure

The best hooker of his generation. Always gave his all on the pitch and always with a smile on his face.

RIP Terry, what a sad waste - was hoping he could have worked to further drug awareness, although I'm sure he already has through his ban.

Not quite sure why people feel the need to say things like "ultimate professional" and "always with a smile on his face" though. Not particularly sincere.

Heart goes out to his family, horrible time for them.

Just watched Granada Reports and then North West tonight and I'm welling up. What a sad end to a great career and life.

RIP
Died way to young

But of course you didn't.

Because you've already made it more than clear that nobody is allowed to say anything that you do not personally consider 'acceptable' (how very cutely Talibanesque).

You've also – as have several others – shown an inability to actually read what some people say (let alone a belief in their right to say it) and only in your own ability to (mis)interpret as you will and then slag people off for daring not to repeat exactly the mantra that you consider appropriate.

Well done. Kim Jong Il would be proud of you. I hope that you – and others – are proud of themselves.

You're all part of the problem of this dumbed-down, tabloid-led society, which learned how to 'grieve' after Diana kicked the bucket.

Wow. I've just realised just how superior to the rest of us you truly are.

Your skills include associating the death of Terry Newton with no less than Princess Di, the Taliban, Kim Jong Il and Adolf Hitler.

It'll be a devastating day when you die, but at least the British people (yes, all of us) are now experienced in expressing such grief on a national scale. I assume Elton John has already re-penned a classic in preparation?

Oh please. Get off your high horse.

The sad thing is nobody saw a problem with him by the look of things. Why didn`t he seek help?
Nothing is beyond recovery.A sad waste of a life.
I feel for his family.

You didn't get slagged off yesterday by a bunch of cyber-pitchfork-waving imbeciles who cannot actually read posts stating a basic fact.

It seems that, to the simple minded, if you say anything less than 'RIP', you're a bad, bad, naughty little person. So much for free speech and democracy, eh?

I suggest that you – and others – shut up until such time as you have been villified for stating simple facts. Or at least until you can read other posts with a modicum of understanding.

And you too, BD.

But hey – it's so good to know all these people who do not actually believe in free speech. Well done, you bunch of Stalinists.

PS – and barton baird makes a very good point. But all these people who claim to have known hiom don't seem to have helped him.

Someone PM tb and tell him Mintball's been hacked by a raving lunatic.

Or she's having a REALLY bad day. In which case tb's probably under the stairs.

Very very sad loss and my thoughts Are with his wife, children and parents.

But please don't go ott about his abilities. A very good player who gave it out but also took it back in bucketfuls.
Best hooker of his generation with Lowes and Cunningham around during his time?

"Stalinists" is a bit of a stretch, jesus. Chill.

Could these sort of exchanges perhaps be dealt with via PMs? I think right-minded people will find it inappropriate to post this sort of rubbish on a thread that may be read by Terry's friends and perhaps even family. I will not say any more but do find it distasteful.

Indeed. It's a shame that some people apparently want to censor free speech.
