'''Terry Ian Butcher''' (born 28 December 1958) is an English [[Association football|football]] manager and former player.

During his playing career as a [[defender (association football)|defender]], Butcher [[Captain (association football)|captained]] the [[England national football team|England national team]], winning 77 caps in a ten-year international career that featured three [[FIFA World Cup]]s. Butcher also enjoyed success in his club career, particularly with [[Ipswich Town F.C.|Ipswich Town]] and [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]]. He has subsequently managed clubs in England, Scotland, Australia and Wales and also had a brief spell in charge of the [[Philippines national football team|Philippines national team]].

==Early life==
Born in [[Singapore]], where his father was commissioned with the [[Royal Navy]], Butcher spent most of his childhood in [[Lowestoft]], [[Suffolk]], where he attended [[Lowestoft Grammar School]].<ref>{{Cite web | title = Former Ipswich and England legend offers backing to boost the Blues | last = Boggis | first = Mark | work = Lowestoft Journal | date = 9 March 2018 | access-date = 2 August 2018 | url = http://www.lowestoftjournal.co.uk/news/terry-butcher-backs-lowestoft-town-1-5427003 | archive-date = 2 August 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180802193126/http://www.lowestoftjournal.co.uk/news/terry-butcher-backs-lowestoft-town-1-5427003 | url-status = dead }}</ref> He turned down the chance to join the [[Norwich City F.C. Under-23s and Academy|Norwich City youth team]], as he was a fan of [[East Anglian derby|East Anglian rivals]] Ipswich Town. He joined the [[Portman Road]] club in August 1976 after a three-week trial.<ref>{{Cite web | title = [Exclusive] Terry Butcher On England's World Cup Hopes, Team Selection And Why Carrick Is Likely To Miss Out | first = Amlan | last = Majumdar | work = TheHardTackle.com | date = 8 May 2014 | access-date = 2 August 2018 | url = http://www.thehardtackle.com/2014/exclusive-terry-butcher-on-englands-world-cup-hopes-team-selection-and-why-carrick-is-likely-to-miss-out/}}</ref><ref name=efo>{{Cite web | title = Terry Butcher | work = England Football Online | date = 10 July 2014 | access-date = 2 August 2018 | url = http://www.englandfootballonline.com/TeamPlyrsBios/PlayersB/BioButcherTI.html}}</ref>

==Club career==
===Ipswich Town===
Butcher made his debut for [[Ipswich Town F.C.|Ipswich Town]] against [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] in the First Division on 15 April 1978 and over the next eight seasons would establish himself as the club's top central defender, combining leadership with great aerial ability and courage. This was soon noticed by England manager [[Ron Greenwood]] who gave him his debut in a friendly against [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australia]] in 1980.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sporting-heroes.net/football/ipswich-town-fc/terry-butcher-10738/league-appearances_a13309/ |title=Terry Butcher - Ipswich Town FC |work=Sporting-heroes.net |access-date=21 August 2010}}</ref>

In 1981, Butcher was part of the Ipswich side that won the [[1981 UEFA Cup Final|UEFA Cup]] under [[Bobby Robson]] and came close to their first [[Football League|League]] title since 1962, though they were pipped at the post by [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]].

Butcher was named [[Ipswich Town F.C. Player of the Year|Player of the Year]] in 1985 and 1986, the latter season seeing Ipswich relegated to the Second Division.<ref>{{Cite book| title = The who's Who of Ipswich Town| first = Dean| last = Hayes| year = 2006| publisher = Breedon Books| isbn = 1-85983-515-5| page =183}}</ref>

===Rangers===
In 1986, Butcher left Ipswich when they were relegated, and became one of the first 'English invasion' players to join Scottish club [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]] following the appointment of [[Graeme Souness]] as manager. Souness, the former Liverpool player, paid Ipswich £725,000 for him in July 1986.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sporting-heroes.net/football/rangers-fc/terry-butcher-10738/scottish-league-appearances_a13310/ |title=Terry Butcher - Rangers FC |work=Sporting-heroes.net |access-date=21 August 2010}}</ref> As captain, he led them to three League titles in four seasons, plus two [[Scottish League Cup]]s.<ref name="sporting-heroes1">{{cite web|url=http://www.sporting-heroes.net/football/rangers-fc/terry-butcher-10738/biography_a11121/ |title=Terry Butcher - Rangers FC |work=Sporting-heroes.net |access-date=21 August 2010}}</ref>

In November 1987 he broke his leg during a Scottish Premier Division fixture against [[Aberdeen F.C.|Aberdeen]], which ruled him out for the rest of the season.<ref name="sporting-heroes1"/> In April 1988 Butcher was convicted of disorderly conduct and [[breach of the peace]] due to his behaviour in [[Rangers F.C. 2–2 Celtic F.C. (1987)|an Old Firm match in October 1987]].<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/1120033.stm Old Firm old boys prove popular] BBC News, 16 January 2001</ref> He was fined [[£]]250.<ref name=herald/> In October 1988 Butcher was the subject of a police investigation when he kicked the referee's room door off its hinges after a match at [[Pittodrie Stadium|Pittodrie]]. No criminal charges were brought, but the [[Scottish Football Association|SFA]] fined Butcher £1500.<ref name=herald>[http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/aberdeen/crimes-of-unsporting-passion-1.681102 Crimes of unsporting passion] The Herald, 11 May 1995</ref> Butcher was the subject of a £1million bid from [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] in July 1988, but this was rejected by Rangers.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=GGgVawPscysC&dat=19880727&printsec=frontpage&hl=en |title=Rangers turn down £1m English offer for Butcher |newspaper=The Herald |date=27 July 1988 |accessdate=22 July 2022}}</ref>

His last Rangers game came in September 1990, in a 2–1 league defeat against [[Dundee United F.C.|Dundee United]]. He was partly responsible for both of the opposition's goals, leading to him being dropped from the side. In November 1990, he was approached by [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]], and came close to signing for the [[Elland Road]] club, but was then offered job as player-manager of [[Coventry City F.C.|Coventry City]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/should-i-have-gone-to-leeds-united-asks-terry-butcher-1-7947057|title='Should I have gone to Leeds United?' asks Terry Butcher|work=Yorkshire Post|date=5 June 2016}}</ref>

===Coventry City===
[[Leeds United A.F.C|Leeds United]] manager [[Howard Wilkinson]] was soon in talks with Graeme Souness about bringing Butcher back south of the border, but when Butcher did depart from Ibrox it was in a £400,000 deal to become player-manager of [[Coventry City F.C.|Coventry City]] on 15 November 1990.<ref name="sporting-heroes1"/> One of his first games as Coventry manager was against the Leeds side he had come close to signing for, holding them to a 1–1 league draw at [[Highfield Road]] on 24 November.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/coventry-city-archive-sky-blues-3054205 |title=Coventry City archive: Sky Blues 1 Leeds United 1 – November 1990 – Coventry City history – Coventry City FC |work=Coventry Telegraph |date=22 November 2010 |access-date=26 May 2012}}</ref> Other promising early results included a thrilling 5–4 home win over cup holders [[Nottingham Forest F.C.|Nottingham Forest]] in the [[Football League Cup]] fourth round on 28 November.

Six days later their [[FA Cup]] was ended in a fourth round replay defeat by [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/footydb/loadtmrs.asp?ssnno=120&teamno=164 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120723171011/http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/footydb/loadtmrs.asp?ssnno=120&teamno=164 |url-status=dead |archive-date=23 July 2012 |title=Results Fixtures 1990–1991 Coventry City – Coventry City FC |publisher=Coventry City MAD |access-date=26 May 2012 }}</ref>

Butcher made six league appearances for the Sky Blues as they finished 16th in the [[1990–91 in English football|1990–91]] First Division and then retired as a player. In the [[1991–92 in English football|1991–92 season]], Coventry defeated [[Luton Town F.C.|Luton Town]] 5–0 in their second league game and achieved a surprise 2–1 away win over defending league champions [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]], as well as a 1–0 home win over local rivals Aston Villa-<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/footydb/loadtmrs.asp?ssnno=121&teamno=164 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120802045957/http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/footydb/loadtmrs.asp?ssnno=121&teamno=164 |url-status=dead |archive-date=2 August 2012 |title=Results Fixtures 1991–1992 Coventry City |publisher=Coventry City MAD |access-date=26 May 2012 }}</ref> to occupy sixth place in the league by the end of September, putting them ahead of more fancied teams including [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] and Everton.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/footydb/loadgen.asp?day=28&month=Sep&ssnno=121&teamno=164 |title=Snapshot Tables 1991–1992 28 Sep Coventry City – Coventry City FC |publisher=Coventry City MAD |date=28 September 1991 |access-date=26 May 2012}}</ref> However, their form dropped  over the next two months, and by the end of November they had fallen to 13th place.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/footydb/loadgen.asp?day=30&month=Nov&ssnno=121&teamno=164 |title=Snapshot Tables 1991–1992 30 Nov Coventry City – Coventry City FC –  |publisher=Coventry City MAD |date=30 November 1991 |access-date=26 May 2012}}</ref> A 2–1 home defeat by [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]] on New Year's Day 1992 saw them enter the new year in 15th place, six points clear of the relegation zone.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/footydb/loadgen.asp?day=01&month=Jan&ssnno=121&teamno=164 |title=Snapshot Tables 1991–1992 1 Jan Coventry City |publisher=Coventry City MAD |date=1 January 1992 |access-date=26 May 2012}}</ref>

Butcher was dismissed on 6 January 1992 after just over a year as Coventry City manager, being replaced by his recently appointed assistant [[Don Howe]].

===Later career===
Butcher re-registered himself as a player in August 1992, when he signed for [[Sunderland A.F.C.|Sunderland]] – founder members of the new Division One, which was the second tier of English football following the creation of the new [[The Football Association|FA]] [[Premier League]]. He played 38 times for the [[Wearside]] club in [[1992–93 in English football|1992–93]], becoming player-manager following the dismissal of manager [[Malcolm Crosby]] in January 1993 and securing their Division One survival by a single place. He never played again for the club and was sacked on 26 November 1993 after a disappointing start to the [[1993–94 in English football|1993–94 season]] saw them battling relegation once again – with the battle being won under Butcher's successor [[Mick Buxton]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sporting-heroes.net/football/sunderland-fc/terry-butcher-10738/1992-93_a13311/ |title=Terry Butcher – Sunderland FC |work=Sporting-heroes.net |access-date=21 August 2010}}</ref>

Butcher then played three games for [[Clydebank F.C. (1965)|Clydebank]] before retiring as a player.

==International career==
[[File:Maradona vs england.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|Butcher ''(No. 6)'' is dejected as [[Diego Maradona]] celebrates his second goal (considered one of the [[Goal of the Century|best goals in World Cup history]]) during the [[1986 FIFA World Cup|1986 World Cup]]]]
Butcher's performances for Ipswich were noticed by [[England national football team|England]] manager [[Ron Greenwood]], who gave him his debut in a friendly against [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australia]] on 31 May 1980, when he was 21 years old. He won his second cap 10 months later in a 2–1 defeat against [[Spain national football team|Spain]] (also a friendly).

Butcher was the youngest member of the back four that featured at the [[1982 FIFA World Cup|1982 World Cup]] in Spain. He became a regular member of the national side at this stage and remained England's first choice centre-back for the rest of the decade, playing in the [[1986 FIFA World Cup|1986 World Cup]]. In that tournament he played in the [[Argentina v England (1986 FIFA World Cup)|quarter final against Argentina]] in which [[Diego Maradona]] passed five English players before scoring, a goal sometimes described as the [[Goal of the Century|'goal of the century']].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.englandfc.com/Profiles/php/PlayerProfileByName.php |title=Player Profile |date=16 July 2014 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140716164734/http://www.englandfc.com/Profiles/php/PlayerProfileByName.php |archive-date=16 July 2014 }}</ref>

A broken leg meant that Butcher was not in the England side that exited at the group stage of the [[1988 European Football Championship|1988 European Championship]] while manager Robson was forced to rely on an inexperienced defensive partnership of [[Tony Adams]] and [[Mark Wright (footballer, born 1963)|Mark Wright]].

While playing for England in a vital World Cup qualifier against [[Sweden men's national football team|Sweden]] in Stockholm on 6 September 1989, Butcher suffered a deep cut to his forehead early in the game. Butcher had some impromptu [[surgical suture|stitches]] inserted by the [[physiotherapist]] and, swathed in [[bandage]]s, continued playing.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.talksport.co.uk/magazine/features/2011-09-08/paul-ince-and-terry-butcher-england-players-not-bleeding-enough-qualifiers|title= Paul Ince and Terry Butcher: 'England players not bleeding enough in qualifier's|work= Talksport|access-date= 21 June 2013|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120910073607/http://www.talksport.co.uk/magazine/features/2011-09-08/paul-ince-and-terry-butcher-england-players-not-bleeding-enough-qualifiers|archive-date= 10 September 2012|url-status= dead}}</ref> His constant heading of the ball – unavoidable when playing in the centre of defence – disintegrated the bandages and reopened the cut to the extent that his white England shirt was red with blood by the end of the game.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/blood-sweat-tears-but-why-do-we-never-beat-sweden-6261876.html |title=Blood, sweat, tears... but why do we never beat Sweden?  |first=Glenn |last=Moore |work=The Independent |date=14 November 2011 |access-date=12 September 2013}}</ref> The image is regarded as iconic.<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-suffolk-32449543/terry-butcher-recalls-1989-head-wound-from-sweden-v-england | title = Terry Butcher recalls 1989 head wound from Sweden v England| publisher = BBC News| access-date = 15 January 2019| date = 24 April 2015}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/50-iconic-english-football-images-11976904 | work = [[Manchester Evening News]] | title = 50 of English football's most iconic pictures | first = Simon| last= Coyle |date = 8 October 2016| access-date = 15 January 2019}}</ref>

England made the semi-finals of the [[1990 FIFA World Cup|1990 World Cup]] with Butcher at the helm of a more-cautious back five (Butcher with Wright and [[Des Walker]] in the centre, plus full-backs [[Stuart Pearce]] and – initially – [[Gary Stevens (footballer, born 1963)|Gary Stevens]], later [[Paul Parker (footballer)|Paul Parker]]); he also took over the captaincy after an injury ended [[Bryan Robson]]'s tournament prematurely. After the World Cup, Butcher retired from international football with 77 caps and three goals to his name over a period of 10 years.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/30068817|title=Scotland v England: Terry Butcher predicts test for Hodgson's side|date=16 November 2014|access-date=26 January 2019|language=en-GB}}</ref>

==Managerial career==
===Coventry City===
Butcher left Rangers on 15 November 1990 to become player-manager of [[Coventry City]] (as successor to [[John Sillett]]). At one month short of 32 he was the youngest manager in the Football League on his appointment.

Under Sillett, Coventry had won the FA Cup in 1987 and finished as high as seventh in the First Division in 1989, but a dismal start to the 1990–91 season had seen Coventry fall back into the relegation battle that had been all too familiar occurrence at Highfield Road since Coventry first reached the top flight in 1967. With Butcher's appointment as manager, Coventry were intent on returning to their winning ways. Butcher steered Coventry to 16th place and safety in 1990–91, and they entered 1992 in 13th place, but he was sacked as manager on 6 January 1992.

Butcher had played six league games for Coventry in the 1990–91 season before announcing his retirement as a player.

===Sunderland===
In February 1993, Butcher was named manager of Sunderland, re-registering himself as a player two years after his last game. He achieved survival at the end of the 1992–93 season, but was sacked the following December.

===Motherwell===
In October 2001, Butcher became assistant to Eric Black at [[Motherwell F.C.|Motherwell]] in the [[Scottish Premier League]], taking over from Black a year later as the club was forced to deal with severe financial difficulties, and Butcher has been praised by the club's supporters and media{{who|date=October 2017}} for his performance under those difficult circumstances.{{citation needed|date=October 2017}} Motherwell reached the [[2005 Scottish League Cup Final]], where his old team Rangers defeated them 5–1.

===Sydney===
After being linked for several weeks with a possible move to [[Sydney FC]], Butcher was announced as their new head coach on 17 May 2006,<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/motherwell/4988790.stm |title=Butcher named as boss of Sydney |date=17 May 2006 | publisher=BBC Sport}}</ref> signing a two-year contract. On 7 February 2007, he was sacked after the club were knocked out of the finals series with a 3–2 aggregate loss to the [[Newcastle Jets]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/6339899.stm|title=Boss Butcher parts with Sydney FC|date=8 February 2007 | publisher=BBC Sport}}</ref>

===Brentford===
On 30 March 2007, Butcher was appointed as assistant coach at [[Partick Thistle F.C.|Partick Thistle]].<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/partick_thistle/6511877.stm "Butcher takes Partick coach role"] BBC Sport, 30 March 2007</ref> However, this was a short lived appointment as he became the manager of [[Brentford F.C.|Brentford]] on 24 April 2007<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/brentford/6587175.stm |title=Butcher named as boss of Brentford|date=24 April 2007 | publisher=BBC Sport}}</ref> (he officially took up the role on 7 May 2007).

After a poor run of results, including only 5 wins in 23 matches, and under increasing pressure from the fans who had been chanting the name of former boss [[Martin Allen (footballer)|Martin Allen]], he left Brentford on 11 December 2007.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/brentford/7138164.stm "Boss Butcher leaves Brentford job"] BBC Sport, 11 December 2007</ref>

===Scotland national team===
Butcher was named as [[George Burley]]'s assistant in 2008 during Scotland's [[World Cup 2010]] qualifying campaign. Butcher still harboured resentment for Maradona's [[Argentina v England (1986 FIFA World Cup quarter-final)#The "Hand of God"|Hand of God]] goal against England 22 years earlier. So in the days leading up to a friendly against Argentina, managed by Diego Maradona, Butcher's views on Maradona were a talking point in the media. Butcher said in interviews that Maradona was a cheat and a liar, and he would be happy to see him lose. Scotland lost the game 1–0. When Maradona was asked about what Butcher had said about him, he replied "Who is Butcher?"<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/international/butcher-whos-he-asks-maradona-28454947.html |title=Butcher, who's he? asks Maradona |work=Belfast Telegraph |date=20 November 2008 |access-date=17 October 2017}}</ref>

In November 2009 George Burley was sacked as Scotland manager and at the same time Butcher left by mutual consent.

===Inverness Caledonian Thistle===

On 27 January 2009, Butcher was appointed manager of [[Inverness Caledonian Thistle F.C.|Inverness Caledonian Thistle]], signing an 18-month contract while also continuing his role as assistant manager to [[George Burley]] for the Scotland national team.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/i/inverness_ct/7842208.stm |title=Butcher named as Inverness boss |publisher=BBC Sport |date=27 January 2009 }}</ref> Butcher was joined in Inverness by [[Maurice Malpas]] as his assistant manager. In May 2009, Inverness were relegated from the Scottish Premier League. 
After a bad start to the 2009–10 [[Scottish Football League First Division|First Division]] league campaign, Butcher managed to turn things around for Inverness. By the end of March, Butcher had guided his club from 16 points behind league leaders Dundee, to four points ahead and top of the Scottish First Division.
