Terry Gerald Eades (5 March 1944 — 4 October 2021) was a Northern Irish former professional footballer who played in Football League for Cambridge United and Watford.

Career

Eades made his debut in senior football for Chelmsford City on 20 March 1963, playing in a 3–1 loss against Guildford City after graduating from the club's academy. During Eades' time at Chelmsford, he made 363 appearances, scoring six times.[1]

In 1969, after helping Chelmsford to the 1968 Southern League title, Eades signed for Cambridge United for a fee of £2,500. On 31 March 1969, Eades scored on his league debut for Cambridge in a 2–0 win against Bedford Town. Eades was part of the Cambridge side that won two successive Southern League titles, helping the club gain election to the Football League in 1970. In 1976, after captaining Cambridge, Eades moved out on loan to Watford for a short period.[2] Eades returned to Chelmsford City for a short spell in 1977.[1]

In 1978, Eades signed for Histon, later managing the club. In April 1980, Eades was given a testimonial by Cambridge, with Ron Atkinson's West Bromwich Albion providing the opposition.[2]

Eades died on 4 October 2021 from cancer at the Arthur Rank Hospice, at the age of 77.[2]
