Terry Branston

Terence George Branston Date of Birth: Jul 25, 1938

Northampton Town finally got their man in October 1958 with the reluctant centre-half joining at a time when the Cobblers were about to sweep from Division Four to Division One in five years.

When Northampton started to fall back just as rapidly, Luton manager Allan Brown stepped in and brought Terry to Kenilworth Road in the summer of 1967. A born leader and as hard as nails, terrace favourite Terry skippered the Hatters to the Division Four title in 1968 and further promotion two years later.

After a short spell at Lincoln, Terry retired to his established driving school in Rugby and was still an occasional visitor to Kenilworth Road up until the time of his death in 2010.
