William Terrence "Terry" Hennessey (born 1 September 1942) is a Welsh former international footballer who gained 39 caps for Wales. He played as a defender and made 400 Football League appearances in the 1960s and 1970s with Birmingham City, Nottingham Forest and Derby County.[1]
After his playing career, he managed a number of clubs, including Tulsa Roughnecks of the North American Soccer League, whom he led to the league championship in 1983.
Playing career
He joined Birmingham City as a junior, going on to make 178 League appearances for them,[1] as well as being part of the team that won the 1962–63 Football League Cup.[2]
In November 1965, he was transferred to Nottingham Forest and became their captain. He transferred from Forest to Derby County in February 1970 for a fee of £100,000.[3] His role on the field varied. During his career Hennessey accumulated a total of 400 league appearances, as well as being capped by Wales on 39 occasions.[1]
Coaching career
Hennessey was forced to retire at the end of the 1972–73 campaign and initially went into coaching. After taking a position (for the second time) as an assistant coach of Tulsa Roughnecks in 1980,[4] he took over as manager mid-season in 1981, replacing Charlie Mitchell.[5][6]
In 1983 Hennessey led Tulsa to the NASL championship, winning Soccer Bowl '83 by a 2–0 score over Toronto Blizzard.[7] However, the team's financial instability led him to resign after the season.[8]
