Terry Hollindrake (21 December 1934 – 29 January 2015) was an English professional rugby league footballer of the 1950s and 1960s, and coach of the 1970s. He played at representative level for Great Britain, and Yorkshire, and at club level for Keighley Albion, Keighley (two spells), Hull F.C., Bramley, and Keighley Shamrocks, as a fullback, wing, or centre [2] and coach at club level.
Playing career
Keighley
Hollindrake was born in the Keighley area and started his playing career with amateur team, Keighley Albion.

On resuming his full-time playing career with Keighley, he became an established first team player and in the 1955–1956 season set a new post war club record for the number of tries scored as he scored 26.[2] It was during this season that Hollindrake made his only international appearance when he played on the wing for Great Britain in the third test against New Zealand at Headingley on 17 December 1955.[1]
In the 1957–58 season he beat his own record scoring 27 tries and in the 1959–60 season he became Keighley's then leading scorer.[2]
