Terry Darracott R.I.P.

[Summer76]

My great auntie knew him growing up and when I was kid he got me the team autographs from the Dobson/Latchford era
It's sad

Wasn't Terry caretaker manager of Everton, for a bit around the autumn/winter of 1989? I think Colin Harvey had to take some time off, because of some surgery on his hip.

cant remember much about him as a player as there wasn't as much footy on the
tele then and I was only a kid in woolsville, but he was the full back I first recall. RIP Terry.

Here's a little story Terry once told me. After the cup final in 86 him and Mick Lyons came out of Wembley totally gutted. As they crossed the coach park heading for Mick's car they came across soft lad Dr fun looking a bit lost telling them he thought his coach had gone without him.(I wonder why?). Anyway theoffered him a lift and headed to the car with soft lad dressed in his top hat and tail's with his daft puppet. Terry said he never shut up all the way home and he done their heads in. They eventually dropped him off at the Oak tree pub in Huyton and Mick sped off in a hurry. The next morning Terry got a phone call from Mick who was pissing himself laughing, when he'd gone out to the car there was half of soft arsed coat hanging out at the back door!

Ha ha i'm in stitches after reading that!lol

I'd say between the defeat and the company poor Terry and Mick had in the car with them, the journey back home to Liverpool, must have felt even longer than usual that evening!lol

Personal ambition - to be happy. Every modern PL player should be made to read this and then rethink their shallow social media lives.

I remember that story of them offering him a lift but Mick Lyons also said that Dr Fun’s feet stank so bad that they had to have the windows in the car open all the way back home…talk about adding insult to injury.

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.

Yes I got the book because I like Pat as a footballer, went off him after reading his book, he was talking about writing a follow up to it, if he does I’ll swerve it, bit too much up his own Arsenal for me!!

Haha nice one, Terry didn't mention that bit, maybe it's why the coach left without him.
