Terry had been taking part in the weekly Parkrun in Carey Park, Northwich – something he had enjoyed doing almost every week since it began. An absolute legend in local football circles, he was also passionate about the town he lived in and served the Winnington & Castle ward on Northwich Town Council. Terry is survived by his loving family of wife Anne, children Debbie and Lee, and four grandchildren. Born in Liverpool on 14th January 1940, Terry later moved to Cheshire and began work at Saturday 2nd December 1961 ICI shortly after leaving school. He was playing for the works football team when he joined Football League Division Four Mid-Cheshire League side Knutsford, and was just 17-years-old when he scored twice on his Gresty Road, Crewe Crewe Alexandra 1-1 Chester debut as an inside-left in a 6-1 win at Wilmslow Albion in April 1957. Riley 12 Hennin 80 Brian Williamson 1 John Hardie His potential was noted by Stockport County, where he spent a short spell before returning Jimmy McGill 2 Ron Hughes to Knutsford for the 1958-59 season. In 1960 he joined Northwich Victoria, then in the Don Campbell 3 Fred Donaldson Cheshire County League, before signing as a professional with Crewe Alexandra a year later. Stan Keery 4 Derek Hennin He was given his senior debut by boss Jimmy McGuigan in the no.6 shirt in a 1-1 draw with Eric Barnes 5 Ray Gill Chester at Gresty Road in the Football League Fourth Division on 2nd December 1961 (see Terry Murphy 6 Malcolm Edwards match details, right). He returned to the Cheshire League to play for Witton Albion, before Billy Haydock 7 Peter Fitzgerald Chris Riley 8 David Cartlidge later excelling in a long career coaching and managing. Locally, Terry won the Mid-Cheshire Frank Lord 9 Fred Morris Sunday League title in his first nine years in management with three different clubs: Broken Barrie Wheatley 10 Billy White Cross, The Railway (where he even won four trophies in one season) and Greenbank. Jim Pennington 11 Mervyn Jones In the Cheshire League he coached and managed Rhyl, before moving to Runcorn as trusted assistant to close friend John Williams in 1980. The pair formed a formidable partnership as their team won the Northern Premier League by a 16-point margin (in the days of two points for a win) in 1981, before later completing a treble with the NPL Cup and NPL Shield. They topped this the following year by leading Runcorn to the Alliance Premier League title at the first attempt, the height of the original club’s achievements. He later had a spell with Williams at Altrincham in 1987-88. Terry also took charge at what were mid-Cheshire’s big three semi-professional clubs during his career, namely Northwich Victoria, Witton Albion and Winsford United, as well as the three main Mid-Cheshire League clubs in Barnton, Lostock Gralam and Middlewich Town. Here at Townfield Lane, Terry began Barnton’s run of seven consecutive league titles in 1996-97, a trophy haul that included a treble in 1997-98. He later won three league titles and eight cups in seven years at Middlewich Town, and his son Lee proudly played under him for both clubs in those successful spells. Terry had been Director of Football at Witton, and the club continued to use his exceptional scouting abilities at Wincham Park. Terry was always a great ambassador for football, particularly in the local area, and supported the idea of the creation of fans- owned 1874 Northwich. He was a regular at games of his former clubs, and retained an encyclopaedic knowledge of players and current form throughout several levels of the non-league game. It would be safe to say that he knew the vast majority, if not all, of the players who have come through the local ranks. Terry remained a regular and welcome visitor to Barnton, where we would all love to see him and listen to him talk about the game he loved. One of the last competitive games he attended at Townfield was back in May when he watched his grandson Alex play for Davenham as they won the Mid-Cheshire Youth Cup. Barnton Chairman Steve Lloyd summed up Terry’s influence: “Let’s be honest, for all us wannabe managers within the Mid-Cheshire area, Terry Murphy was the one we all looked up to, the one we wanted to replicate. This man was a benchmark, a true local football phenomenon, I am absolutely devastated at his passing.” Our Head of Football, Mike Alcock, played for Terry for many years, and was also his right-hand man with several successful teams. Above all, the two struck up an enduring close friendship, so it is appropriate that we should leave the last words to Mike: "I can't put into words how I felt when I got the news Terry had passed away. Barnton won't feel the same not having him up there anymore, the tributes and lovely messages just go to show what he meant to everyone. It's a very sad time but he will never be forgotten. The memories, the stories, the laughs. It was an honour to work with you in football and to be your friend. RIP Mate" WELCOME TO OUR VISITORS CHEADLE TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB Ground: Park Road Stadium, Cheadle, Cheshire Chairman: Craig Brennan CHEADLE Secretary: Stuart Crawford Manager: Will Griffiths Assistant Manager: John Phelan Coach: Noel Dempsey Physiotherapist: James Brownell Goalkeeping Coach: Steve Piggott TOWN Colours: Red & White Striped Shirts, Red Shorts & Socks Website: www.cheadletown.co.uk Twitter: @CheadleTownFC Cheadle Town was formed in 1961 as Grasmere Rovers playing in the Manchester & District Sunday Football League in their Under-16s Division. As the team developed the Under-21 Championship was won in 1968, followed by the Premier Division title two years later. In 1972 the club made the significant decision to play their football on Saturdays and joined the Manchester Football League. Success on the playing field coincided with the arrival of Albert Pike as manager in 1978. In Albert’s first, full season he led the team to a terrific double of First Division Champions and Manchester Amateur Cup Winners; this was the prelude to even more success as the club won both the Manchester & Derbyshire FA Cups. Grasmere Rovers moved into their own ground at Park Road Stadium in 1982 and, a year later, changed their name to Cheadle Town when they also joined the North West Counties Football League. Membership has mainly been in the Second Division but in 1996 the club was promoted to the First Division. Sadly, relegation back to the second tier occurred in 2001, a position they still occupy in the now-named First Division. Park Road Stadium itself has a fine history with, initially, Cheadle Rovers being the owners. On their demise Manchester City used it as their training ground.
