fleetwood Blue Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 if true RIP, he wasn't my favourite player but was one tough cookie. A great player in his day who's career came to a sad end, the rumour of him hanging himself has been gathering pace in the last hour. R.I.P Terry .

dave_ragg1984 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) Looks like it is true. The editor of RL Express has put it on his twitter page, so I'd guess it is true. Big shame. RIP Terry Newton. *edit* Confirmed on the BBC. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-11414736 Edited September 26, 2010 by dave_ragg1984 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I didn't like the player at all - remember when he put Longy out by intentionally fracturing his eye socket? Anyway, RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosa Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Just about to add the BBC link, RIP - sad news drugs in sport are wrong but take away a man's livelihood and you destroy him. Was at my brother's when the news broke and his reponse was "it's terrible but i'm not totally surprised, you could see something like this happening". He was always a bit unstable, and having his career effectively finished was never going to be easy for him to deal with. Absolutely hated him as a player, but no-one deserves this.

rudemedic Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I liked him as a player (then again I'm not a posh scouser fan). Its sad that he took his own life but its not a major shock given the consequences of the stuff he was taking. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP If you're ever passing through St Helens, try popping into one of the pubs in Thatto Heath and call them 'posh scousers'. Just to see what happens.

rosa Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I didn't realise he'd lost his younger sister as well. His poor parents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Dog Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 If you're ever passing through St Helens, try popping into one of the pubs in Thatto Heath and call them 'posh scousers'. Just to see what happens. I remember being sat in the stands at Central Park watching Saddleworth Rangers Vs Thatto Heath in a National Cup final in early '90s. Some big Thatto supporter was getting very upset with a Rangers supprter and screaming at him ' at least we're working class ' - I wouldn't have dared to tell him he was a 'posh scouser'.

My sister and brother-in-law live in Thatto Heath. We were going to have a drink in their local after getting back from Wembley for the Challenge Cup final in 2008, but when we got there it was closed, surrounded by police and one of the windows was boarded up. Apparently an argument over who was man of the match had got out of hand and someone threw a petrol bomb. Anyway, back on topic....i hope the minute's silence is given the respect it deserves on Saturday, but i can't help feeling a minute's applause would have been safer.
