Ted Vibert was born on 10 June 1938, at Grosnez, St Ouen, Jersey.
He played football professionally for three years for Leyton Orient in London.
In 2003, he stood in the Senatorial by-election created by the sudden resignation of former Senator Ann Bailhache.
He stood on a populist platform, saying that "It is obvious that there are two factions in the States those with a social conscience and those with none at all.
I want to help redress the balance against those with a ‘gung-ho’ mentality who want to see more population, more building and more business activity.".
