R.I.P Terry. A true Wigan hero and we will never forget you. Best wishes to his family at this very sad time.
I hope the Rugby League do the right thing and organise a minutes silence before the Grand Final on Saturday.

Found hanged at 2pm. Eddie was questioning a visibly upset Brian Carney about Terry during the gap between the Championship play off finals. Thought it was a bit tactless.

RIP Terry. You never gave less than 100% in a Wigan shirt.

Just heard this on the Radio, what horrible horrible news. I'm shedding a tear as I write this.

One can't imagine what he was going through, RIP Terry, peace be with you, and with your family.

Totally shocked.

That poor guy must have been going through hell and love him or hate him he didn't deserve this. I am one who loved him and it is sad that he will never know how much people did like him. His family and friends must be in a state of shock judging by the way it has affected those of us who didn't know him other than as a gifted player. Goodnight God bless No 9
Same here i am getting a lump inmy throat reading the codolences. RIP Tez my idol. You aint suffering now :(

R.I.P. Terry and condolences to his family. I was in the queue for grand final tickets when I heard, it was such a shock.

Depression is a horrible crippling disease and it's hard for people to see that anything is wrong. Rugby is a hard game played by hard men and for them to concede that all is not well inside must be incredably difficut. Scores of people have testified that Terry seemed fine - he obviously hid it well and buried it deep.

My hope would be that despite the tragedy and pain of the situation now, a scrap of good might come from this. If one ill player can recognise himself in Terry and seek help, at least some of the terrific waste might be offset?
