Sky Blues fans will remember that Terry came to Highfield Road as player-manager from Rangers for £400k in November 1990, though he made his name first at Ipswich Town. He succeeded another Sky Blues player and manager CCFPA member John Sillett (though obviously Schnozz performed the roles at different times). Terry was coming up 32 when he got the job and became the youngest manager in the Football League on his appointment. However, he only actually played six games for the Sky Blues before concentrating on management. The Sky Blues reached the safety of 16th under his stewardship that first year but yielded the hot seat to his assistant Don Howe the following season when sacked in January 1992. Terry played a season with Sunderland and had a few games with Clydebank before hanging up his boots in 1993. Since then he went on to manage a number of clubs apart from CCFC both in the UK and abroad.
