McDonald, Terry Hello, As I'm Terry McDonald's son, I just thought I'd update your info on him - hope , it's useful. Cheers, Tony McDonald
Career details: West Ham United (1956-59) Leyton Orient (Oct 1959-65) Reading (1965-66) Wimbledon (Southern League) 1966-67 Folkestone Town (Southern League) 1967-69
Since retiring as a player, Terry has spent the rest of his working life managing various betting shops in London and Essex before finally retiring from Coral in 2012, aged 74. He remained in touch with football, however, in a coaching capacity - firstly with Leyton Orient's under-15s and also had a spell coaching Chelsea under-15s in the mid-90s. Also ran coaching clinics for kids in the Philadelphia, USA during much of the 80s. Terry, who lives in Leyton, still attends every Orient home game with his journalist son Tony, who has written two books on the O's.
Mcdonald, Terry Hello this may be a bit random but I saw this and just thought it would be a nice way to stay in touch, I believe my Nan possesses an old family photo or two with terry McDonald in it I'm pretty sure it was a Christmas party at my great grand parents (Charley and violet George) around I think 1958/1959 I think he may be my recently departed grandads cousin his name was Kenneth John George, I'm intrigued to know what life was like back then and how people got by but more so about the family history, apologies if this is not relevant to the site .
