He was, along with Mick Lyons, the type of player we could really do with in our present situation. He wasn't the best left back I saw play for the blues, he wasn't the worst, but, he was a completely honest player, he gave his all every time he crossed the white line. He was a battler and a hundred percenter.
A sad day, he went too soon. RIP Terry.

Well said, mate!! Cracking accolade for a lovely guy and a committed Blue. RIP Terry D. A modest guy from a bygone era. He knew he had struck lucky to play for us. My mum used to teach his kids for a short while in Maghull/Lydiate and said he was a nice guy!!Gutted on hearing this,
feel free to move this mods if you wish,
another part of my childhood growing up has departed the Everton scene,
the inspiration for my moniker on this fine forum of ours, I got my first season ticket aged eight, now don't get me wrong most of us of a certain vintage would never say he was the most cultured to wear the Royal Blue, but he always was committed, gave 110% and would put his head in for the cause(I recall Latch knocking him unconscious at Old Trafford!!)that first season for me 1973-74 I recall Terry getting unmerciful stick off the crowd, the local lads did back then, Mick Lyons the same, I felt sorry for him as I saw a fella doing the best he could for us, the nicknames made me laugh too, "Apricot","Herbie","Maxie", and the cries of "jockey him" when he was facing a winger, all good fun for an eight year old at the game.
He left us for Tulsa Roughnecks(only Terry eh?)then returned home with Wrexham, I was at Goodison for the cup tie back in 1980 when he received a great ovation on his return home,(although red never suited him
Thanks for the memories Terry,
Howie get a bevvy ready for him and chat about the glory days
RIP

My favourite memory of Terry was against Burnley at Turf Moor.
Terry collected a short pass from our Goalie and saw acres of space ahead.
So he set off at pace,ball at feet.
In those days the dugout at Turf Moor was below pitch level.
Terry charged forward head down. Unfortunately he had got his angles wrong.
Terry and ball ended up on top of all our bench in the dugout.
God bless you Terry
Thanks for all the memories

I find find sad that everton legends get two odd pages whilst players earning a fortune from the club get 50 odd pages from posters who barely know the clubs True history l.
RIP Terry Darracott, as many have said an unsung hero as a player and a coach,, a heart as big as a lion.
'Terry's gonna getcha' we used to cry when a score required settling on the pitch and Terry would often oblige by sliding the offender into the hoardings.
A sad day for those of us of a certain age who remember Terry, God bless him.

As someone said, he had a surprisingly long career at Goodison making his debut aged 17 in 1968. Great memories watching him close up from the Paddock. He always gave everything and was hard as nails. Just before he left he was playing some of the best football of his life. He had started the 78/79 season as first choice right back as we went on a terrific unbeaten run. But after the signing of Colin Todd he was consigned to the bench and the odd UEFA Cup match and so he left for pastures new (well, Tulsa Roughnecks). Gone far too soon. R.I.P. Terry. A true Everton great.
