Trowbridge based
Terry
’s FC began life with a few friends enjoying a game in the
local park before taking the next step into organised football.
They had no ambition, other to enjoy themselves, and this simple aim
still guides the team.
Formed in 1997, the team comprising
naive youngsters, with a few older heads have risen through the divisions.
Co-founded, managed and organised by brothers
Jamel
Messaoud
and
Dominic
Gorton
, the first season proved difficult as the young lads
struggled to cope, even in the lowly realms of division four.
With new players arriving they finished an encouraging 11th in
their first season. The second
season started poorly, but with a settled side they improved
to finish third, gaining promotion.
Terry
’s went one better in division
3, finishing runners-up to
West Lavington
and losing narrowly in the Parr Trophy semi-final to premier
side Dog & Fox Ashley. The
2000-01 season was abandoned due to Foot & Mouth and deprived
Terry
’s of the title they seemed destined to win.
The following year, starting as favourites,
Terry
’s dominated the league losing just twice and drawing
twice. With great team spirit and
enthusiasm and no little skill the future looks bright for
Terry
’s.
