I mean't to post this a while ago. An interview with Terry featured in the Irish Post on the lead up to his U21 appearance against Armenia.

No real hint of things not going too well. Hopefully its just idol gossip....
I think Idol gossip goes here:

Good interview. just one thing that did surprise me was that he said that he left school at 13 to play football for Spurs. I had always assumed that the young lads in the academys in England had to continue their studies along with football trainingQuote:

No confirmation yet but it will happen. The list of retained players hasn't been produced yet but the West Ham website hints at several of the squad who played against Arsenal being released.Quote:

For those who have been following progress you'll remember how much the official site used to sing his praises but even after scoring one goal and creating the other he hardly gets a mention.
he went to ignatians i was pretty sure he was there for longer than 13....perhaps exaggeratino for effect.
Dixon, Stephen O'Halloran and James Collins started in the West Ham v Aston Villa match tonight, all three played the 90 mins whilst david bevan and Eoin Wearan came off the bench in a one-nil victory for villa.
Is anyone aware as to if Terry is going to Colorado of MLS (on loan) or not?
Thanks in advance.
You'd think if they wanted to do this that it would already have happened...what's the point in him playing reserve football if he could be getting first team experience?Quote:

Actually, with Toronto FC installing grass in BMO Field and New York moving to Red Bull Arena, that leaves only New England and Seattle as the only teams (out of 16) still using Fieldturf, which itself is a big advance from the Plastic Pitches of the eighties. I saw one sports doctor say that it's no more likely to cause injuries, although some players still disagreeQuote:

yeah artificial pitches kill my shins and i'm only going 20..
The surface at Colorado's stadium (The Dick, no really it's "Dick's Sporting Goods Park") is grass. The artificial stuff used in the stadiums in the US these days is better than the old stuff but still not that great for players prone to knee injuries and older players.
That coupled with the amount of air travel to opposing teams in the hot summer would not be all that great for his knees.
In any case:

Rapids coach Gary Smith rubbished recent reports from England and Ireland that West Ham striker Terry Dixon could be joining the Rapids on loan. Smith said he has never met the 20-year-old and believes the link has come through a mutual boxing friend who helps train Dixon.
Got 76 mins in tonights reserve game against stoke.
I don't expect an apology but don't be so quick to rubbish peoples information in future otherwise they may not bother again.Quote:

Disappointing news for Terry after all the work he has been putting in to get fit again. Hopefully he will find another club where he can continue his comeback. At the U-21 game in Tallaght last month he didn't look fully fit but there were certainly flashes of his ability.
