Thanks mate, very sad end for Wigan lad Terry, i only wish he could have asked some of his many fans for help. he had plenty in Wigan.

Shocked and saddened - RIP Terry.

Very sad R.I.P Terry my thoughts are with his family.

As a Leeds Fan I can honestly say that it would now be fitting for your players to go out and grab the GF cup next week for Terry.

RIP

God bless all Terry's family and friends,

its a truly awful tragedy and my heart goes out to all his family.

RIP Terry

I would just like to say I can't believe this terrible news.
On the behalf of Saints fans RIP Terry.
And let's hope we give him a cracking game on Saturday night.

The tribute on YT is fitting.

A very sad day for the world of RL

Terry was a player who always gave his best in every game he played. I really hope you Wigan boys go on to win the final next week in memory of such a great bloke, deepest sympathy to all his family and friends

I will alaways consider Terry Newton to be a pie, but at times like this it is put aside. RIP and heartfelt condolences to his family.

RIP Terry. Very sad and unnecessary waste of life.

Love him or hate him the world is a poorer place tonight without Terry Newton, That he felt his only option was the one he took makes it even sadder. My thoughts and condolences go to his family and friends.RIP

R.I.P. Terry. A true character,legend and Warrior. Sincere condolances to his family and friends

The kind of player I always liked. Hardworking, tough, determined, put his body on the line and a 100%er.

An absolutely tragedy that someone so young thought death was a better option than life. My thoughts and condolences to his family and friends.

Tragic day. I felt for Terry, barrie n Brian commenting on the news, they all looked devastated and close to tears but handled it brilliantly. O'conner said he only spoke to Terry yesterday talking about meeting up next week.....

RIP Terry - fantastic, no compromise player

R.I.P TEZ U HAVE LEFT UZ WITH A MILLION FANTASTIC MEMORIES, UR A TRUE STAR.

Seems there is abit more to Terry's private life than just being banned from RL - according to Sporting Life his marriage was breaking down and that took him deep into depression.

True or not, it really is a incredibly tragic day for Wigan RL and for RL but more importantly the people who knew him best, his family and friends. I feel extremely for his two daughters whom he doted on.

RIP Terry.

You put the Warrior in Wigan Warriors.

The news of Terry taking his own life is still something I can't quite believe. I didn't know him personally and never had the chance to meet him but to me and my wife he will always be forever in our memories for his efforts on the field in the cherry and white.

On the news breaking the shock was incredible but soon after we both ended up talking about a game at the DW (JJB back then) in which Terry ended up with the ball in his hands at around the half way line and clear field in front of him to the try line. Neither of us can remember the game or the opponents but we can both picture the look on his face as he ran towards the south stand. He looked left and right for support but was on his own as he ran towards the line with the chasing backs close on his heels, at that moment everyone in the stand seemed to be willing him towards the line, I even remember beckoning him towards me as he pinned his ears back and went for it. He was caught close to the line but his strength and, as I've thought about it, the will of the crowd got him over the line. He celebrated right in front of us, to the left of the posts and made it a memory that I will never forget.

Sport can be so inpersonal these days but players like Terry who wore their heart on their sleeve and gave their all for the club made us all feel that we, as fans, were in the game as well. What he felt, we felt too.

Apologies for the long post but I just had to share this.

Terry - Many thanks.
My deepest sympathys to his family and friends.

RIP Terry Newton real "warrior" of Rugby league, the sport will miss him. Rip Big Terry.

Very sad news after yesterday's game




Terry was the reason we started supporting wigan
Rest In Peace Terry
Wasser and family, east hull

rest in peace terry mate you was always a star in my eyes love ya mate gone but never forgotten

you was a true mate xxx

RIP. Always a fantastic player in my eyes.

Always harboured hopes he'd come back to us. When his contract was up at bradfut hoped we'd bring him home then but it never happened. Then when he got banned realised it would never happen, and remember feeling sad then.

Gutted with the news, the best Super League 9 we've had, and probably the best wigan 9 since Dermott. A real tragedy and so upsetting. Such a great player and a player who played with so much passion and involvement, which was one of the main reasons he was so loved by the fans. Feel so sorry for his kids. RIP TEZ.

Well I am absolutely stunned. I was only talking about him today as me and my son queued for our Grand Final tickets this afternoon completely oblivious this had happened.

May he RIP and condolences to his family and friends.

Dave
