Under 9 Coach & Junior Manager

TERRY LORD

Terry joined the club in 1974 - almost 50 years! U9's & U11's didn't exist then but Terry remembers playing his first U13s game at Accrington and the feeling hitting a 4 gave him.

Terry joined the committee whilst still playing in the late 90s and was part of the triple champions side in 2000 to 2002.
He fell into coaching as both his son's - Ben and Sam and stepsons Thomas and Daniel - all played. Coaches are not easy to come by and so he volunteered to help taking over the Under 9s - over 15 years ago Chris Gansler was in my first team.

Two of Terry's grandsons now play - Charlie and Broden.

Terry has and played a lot of cricket - he even helped the 2nds and 3rds out last year at the tender age of 59!
