[edit] Storylines
Terry is the leader of a football firm, including Bird, Dee, and formerly Jase Dyer. Jase had arrived in London from Manchester aged 15, and Terry took him under his wing. After Dee informed the police of Jase's unruly behaviour, Jase went to prison and came out a changed man, caring for his son Jay. In October 2007, Terry sent Bird to find Jase in Walford, and Jase met up with the gang at a pub. The gang later turned on Dee when they found out he had told the police about Jase, and arranged for his car to crash, injuring him severely. Jase expressed his wish to have no part in the gang, so Terry visited Jay while Jase was out, taking him to see a firework display.
Jase later found Terry in a snooker hall, and again told him that he wanted no further involvement with the gang. After playing a game of snooker with Jase, Terry let him go home, watching him menacingly as he left.
Later, with a large group of hitmen, Terry decided to storm the Vic, believing Jase to be on a date there. Not finding him, Terry's gang smashed the place up. In the cellar he confronted Jase and one of his gang members attacked Jase knocking Honey Mitchell down into some empty beer cans (who was then rushed to hospital by Jase). Terry later left the area with his gang members.
Terry turned up at the hospital, then later visited Jase's house and turned Jay against Jase. After an encounter with Jase and with Phil lying about William Mitchell's 'death', Terry and Bird were arrested.
