Remember watching him as a kid, He was a postman in Wales and a top amateur, then turning pro and winning the World title within about 12 months, phenomenal really.
Always seemed a decent bloke, sad news and another from that great era in snooker who has now departed.
RIP
A postie eh?
the locals must have loved him.

I liked Terry great player. I was more of a Alex Higgins supporter but no doubt he left his mark in the golden age of snooker. RIP .

Now Terry the taff was born in a gaff In the valleys of the land of song And as the reds he puts to bed He likes to sing along "If I win", he says with a grin "It can only help me, can't it?" "I'll celebrate, I'll buy another eight" "Hairbrushes for me barnet"

As well as being a big part of the golden era of snooker he also had impressive hair.
RIP Terry.

Always remember him tripping over a globe, on the set of the 88 world final and accidentally booting a hole through the south Pacific. The ref gave it to him at the end as a consolation prize when he got beaten by Davis. R.I.P.

Seemed to be really well liked by all. RIP Terry.
It's not been a great morning for news today, if you grew up through the 80's. I've also just read that Harold Bishop has terminal cancer.

True gent of the game and wasn't half bad either. Used to enjoy his commentary too.
