Terry Oldfield, a talented sportsman, came through the ranks at Bristol Rovers as a fine wing half. He also played second team cricket for Somerset, sharing common ground with Ian Botham. Oldfield played 132 league games for Bristol Rovers and gave back to his home city, later becoming one of the first members of the club's Former Players' Association. He was always going to take Oldfield a lot to leave the club, but the chance to captain Wrexham in 1966 did the trick. Yet his career ended a year later, a knee injury forcing him to quit the game at the age of just 27. Oldfield made the brave move up to Bradford to become Avenue's trainer in his first job since retirement. But on this day in 1968, just nine months after arriving, he departed citing 'personal reasons'. He quickly returned to scout at his beloved Rovers, while he also worked as an estate agent and ran a pub in the area.
