For any Eds or people who may have seen him play. How good was Terry McDermott? Every time I watch a best Liverpool goals compilation, he looks like he was amazing.
{Ed078's Note - Terry was class, but also a bit of a beast. A box to box mid, bit of a maestro before it was a thing. Scored around 80 goals I think. That chip against Everton still lives long in the memory.

He was a cracking player, a Kirkby lad too. ?

Terry Mc was a class act. He had energy to burn. Look on YouTube at his goal in the first European Cup win, or his headed goal against Spurs in the 7-0 or 7-1 win. Terry was part of a very special midfield at LFC. He could strike a football; all his goals seemed spectacular.
In today's football, he would be worth millions. We could do with him today. Aston Villa have a lad, Morgan Rogers, who is quite similar to Terry in his game, a box to box player. YNWA.

Terry Mc would eat Morgan Rogers for breakfast.
{Ed025's Note - i think so too SG..

Terry Mac was a fantastic player in a great Paisley team.

Well said, @Stevie, great player in a great team. I've mentioned his goal against Spurs - the length of the pitch counter-attack from the Spurs corner - which combined great skill and massive effort, and is my favourite Liverpool goal. Excellent, unsung player for us.

A fantastic player, full of energy and skill in a fantastic midfield.

Scored my favourite ever goal. The volley v Spurs at the Lane. Top top player.

Don't think he scored a crap goal. I can only remember worldies.

Terry Mac was amazing. I was at the game where he chipped the Everton goalie for goal of the season. It was shown at the beginning of Match of the Day the following season. He wasn't bad at head tennis either. He and Keegan were unbeaten in training for years.
Even after they were long retired at Newcastle, they used to beat all comers. A total gent off the pitch, absolute raskle on it. He could leave a foot in when it called for it. Class in abundance.

That 7 nil v Spurs was the first match I ever went to.
McDermott's cross for Kennedy and then the header - the build up was also fantastic - was incredible.
Better than that though, was his goal v Spurs in 1980 (goal of the season). I remember trying to replicate it playing Subbuteo on the bedroom floor of mate's house in Leasowe.
Here it is.Terry Mac's, not my Subbuteo attempt.
