Great photo.

I think TD used to get called Max Wall a lot!

Just heard the sad news that Terry has passed away. Great lad, total gentleman.

RIP to a true blue. Goodnight and God bless Terry.

I hope Terry and Colin got called the cocteau twins after that...

I didn't particularly like the Nevin biogrpahy, tbh. He comes across a bit too pompous for me. Good player but a bit of too Bernard Righton.

RIP Terry

Favourite car: “I dont have one“
what you wyou have been if you havent been a footballer: “a merchant seaman”

i wonder how manyof todays players would ever answer like that. Probably the last generation who were truly working class lads living the dream. Nowaday the dream is just how many more millions do i have compared to my teammates. Very sad!

Terry Darracott - his love of Everton shone through. We were honoured to have him speak (brilliantly) at the Harry Catterick centenary event in 2019. Rest In peace, Terry - from the EFC heritage society -

Loved him. RIP lad. Very sad. Unsung hero of the times.

Lots of lovely tributes to Terry here. I remember him in his midfield days, before Bingham converted him to right-back, doing a great man-marking job on George Best in a midweek game at Goodison. That said, some of his tackles would have had the Craig Pawsons of this world reaching for his red card even without VAR!

Terry did a similar job on Alan Ball on Bally's home debut for Arsenal, shortly after the Catt's Crime of the Century. Bally barely had a kick (of the ball)!

I once had the good fortune to speak briefly with another former Blue, Joe Mercer. I asked him which current Everton players he would have liked to manage and was surprised when he mentioned Terry. "Every team needs someone like Terry," he said. "Tough as they come and never gives up." If he was good enough for Joe Mercer he was definitely good enough for me.

RIP Terry.

The Everton I remember fondly is passing away far too quickly, RIP Terry.

This is very sad news. Terry was a good man who gave his all for the Everton cause.

12 years service to the club and 148 appearances, tells it's own story about his loyalty and dedication to Everton. RIP Terry.
