Terence Cameron Medwin (25 September 1932 – 1 May 2024) was a Welsh footballer who played as a outside right for Swansea Town and Tottenham Hotspur.[2] At international level, he made 30 appearances for the Wales national team scoring six goals.
Club career
Medwin made his debut for his 'home town' team Swansea Town in 1951–52 and went on to make 148 Football League appearances for the Swans.
Medwin moved to Tottenham Hotspur for £25,000 in May 1956. He scored twice on his debut in a 4–1 victory over Preston North End at Deepdale in August 1956.[3] Medwin played for Spurs until May 1963 when on a tour of South Africa he broke his leg that forced his early retirement.[4] During this period he scored 72 goals in 215 matches in all competitions and helped the club win the Double in 1960–61, and he also appeared for them in the victorious 1962 FA Cup Final.[5]
International career
Medwin represented Wales in the 1958 FIFA World Cup, scoring the game-winning goal in the first round 2–1 play-off which sent Wales to the quarter-finals.[4] He was the last player to score for Wales in the finals of a major tournament, until Gareth Bale scored in Wales' opening game of UEFA Euro 2016.[6] In total he earned 30 caps and scored 6 goals for Wales from 1953 to 1963.[2]
After retirement
After his playing career ended, Medwin managed Cheshunt,[7] coached at Cardiff City, Fulham, Norwich City and was assistant manager to John Toshack at Swansea.[5] In 1971, he was the trainer of a Wales XI side that toured Asia and Oceania, and which was managed by Dave Bowen.[1]
Medwin's death was reported on 1 May 2024.[4]Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).
