About

Sports fan; football nut; Manchester United season ticket holder.
Brought up on a diet of Real Madrid, United and Hungary in the 50s. Dad gave me the gift of loving proper football, not kick and rush. Met the Busby babes in 56; got all their autographs and Sir Matt. Blubbed at the 6 o'clock news the night they died.

Former CEO/FD/Business Consultant and successful business author, who has been publishing articles for years. Regular columnist on the Manchester Evening News ("Carrolls Comment").

Happy to write about anything I really know about. Try always to be objective and factual in both articles and comments - never rant.

Main loves: football; cricket; golf, but love watching many live sports.

    Terry, good luck in the future if the rumours are true that you are leaving.
    Bleacher report will not be same without you. Thanks for all the intelligent debates, and thought provoking comments. Always a small honor when you agreed with me, and 10x the frustration when you didnt.

    Are you really leaving Terry? Just strolled on your page and saw all these messages...wow. Next gen of United writers has a lot to live up too. Going to miss the wonderful articles. Real shame, never a word misplaced or a fact forgotten. Will try and follow. Best of Luck.

    You've left?! First Michael Cerna, and now you, this is a real crying shame. You know so much about United and that's how I know most of what I do about the club. In case you have, where have you started writing? I will really miss your articles, they were always of a top quality.

    Just learned that you're leaving. Disappointing as I recently made an account because of your writing style, you are in the top three writers on B/R for me. I'd been reading your articles for awhile but never bothered to make an account and recently i got the urge to comment on a few of your articles hence why i made the account. Will dearly miss you and continue to follow you on your new site.

    Terry

    I've been reading your articles for over a year now, and I just wanted to thank you for all you've done. I'm happy to say that I've been Terry's number 1 reader! (Robins, no.. just no..) Thank you for the amazing insight, and the amazing articles. I wish you would stay, but if you aren't happy, I guess its not worth staying :/

    I hope that you do find another place to write at, and when you do let me know about it hey? One things for sure, the United section is going to miss you, nah, the whole of B/R will miss out. Because you my friend, are the best b/r football writer ever.

    Thank you Terry. And good luck :)
