Terry Skiverton has been Yeovil's player-manager since February 2009 when he succeeded previous manager Russell Slade.The popular centre-half, central to so much of the club's success, has been at Huish Park since the summer of 1999 after joining from Welling United.

Terry's early career was spent in London where he was a trainee at Chelsea. He didn't make the first team there and spent a period on loan at Wycombe Wanderers before making the move permanent the following season.

After two seasons at Adams Park, he dropped out of league football and joined Welling United, enjoying a spell in the limelight as a cast member on Sky One's "Dream Team", the story of a fictional football side called Harchester United. 

Yeovil manager Colin Lippiatt signed Terry for Yeovil and his debut was in an inauspicious 5-0 defeat at Scarborough. He was made captain and led the Glovers right the way through the recent successful seasons.

The FA Trophy run of 2002 was a prime example of his leadership. Terry's last minute winner in the stunning 5-4 victory at Doncaster in the fourth round proved a shot in the arm and the Glovers went on to lift the Trophy that season.

The following season saw Terry lead Yeovil into the Football League for the first time scoring six times along the way as the Glovers romped away with the Conference title. He almost captained the side to two consecutive promotions as the first League season ended with the team missing out on the playoffs by goal difference.

Promotion was achieved the following season though by winning League Two and Terry had his third winners' medal in just four seasons, reward indeed for his loyalty.

The disappointment of the 2007 playoff final was only slightly softened by his selection in the PFA League One Team of the Year, proof if it were needed of his talent and commitment.

Terry became manager last February and with a good run towards the end of the season, kept Yeovil up. He and Nathan Jones will be looking to build upon that this season bringing their own qualities and players into the dressing room.
