Terry GordonTerry Gordon was an inspiration player and Captain for Mines Rovers Football Club. Throughout his career, Terry was known for his courage and determination.

Those of us lucky enough to have witnessed the 1991 Grand Final, our first grand final win in 19 years, have no doubt that Terry's courage was a major factor in us winning.

A series of knee injuries shortened Terry's career, but being the true Diorite that he is, continues to be actively involved in the Club as a Director and assists Merv Dellar as the Bench Coach on match days.
