    Ah that is sad news indeed.

    I was in London for 16 hours at the end of January and I considered trying to dash in from the airport hotel to look him up. You never know when someone is going to go, and now I am going to repent that I never took that opportunity to get back in contact. You always think there will be more time.......

    I haven't seen Tel and Fred since 2005. Met him and his brother in 2001 and went to a match at Highbury. Went again with them in 2003, but I had to take an awful ripping about us Aussies losing the rugby world cup to some English geezers the week before. Terry slipped on a tape of Swing Low Sweet Chariots when they picked me up in his car. They even had a menu waiting in the pub for me where I could order "Great Australian Whines" - yeah that officiating was a joke. I stayed a week or so with Fred in 2005 during the Ashes - and Tel gave me his system at the dogs and I won enough for a few shouts and fun.

    I just turned around from the computer while I was writing this, and on my bookshelf I still have 2 Xmas cards from Terry and 2 from Fred. Just re-read their messages and the Morinho jokes and the eyes are glistening over somewhat. Time to shake that off with some good blokey cheer and pour myself a Bundy before bed to remember him by.

    Cheers mate - was a pleasure to know you and spend time in your company.

    I'm never here any more but I had plenty of great banter with him back 10+ years ago. Sad day.

    I thought that those who knew Terry, would like to see the order of service.

    It was a bit of a gloomy day weather wise, however that did nothing to dampen the
    warmth & love that was shared by all.

    The Chapel could not accommodate the number of people attending, many standing
    in the wings and outside the open doors.

    Nice job Rog and thanks for posting. I only knew him from BigSoccer but liked him from that point of view. But now seeing his fav songs played at the service, I like him even more: Space Oddity, Me & Mrs Jones, Love Reign o'er Me. :D
