Norwich City legend Terry Allcock dies, aged 88

Norwich City legend Terry Allcock has died at the age of 88.

The Leeds-born former Canaries inside-forward was renowned for his goalscoring talent in his 11 seasons at Carrow Road, following five years with Bolton Wanderers – including two goals on his debut against Manchester City past the great Bert Trautmann.

In his first full season with the club – 1958-59 – Allcock helped Norwich reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup while a Division Three side.

He scored the most goals in all competitions in a calendar season for Norwich – 37 – and was the winner when the club first awarded a player of the season trophy in 1966-67.

Allcock ended up with a Canaries career haul of 127 goals in 389 games, of which 106 were in the league in 339 appearances, putting him second in the club’s all time goal-scoring list – just behind their all time top scorer Johnny Gavin.

He would almost certainly have gone on to break the record. But, for the last five years of his career, he played in a deeper role, at half-back.
