Terry McFlynn

Terence Martin "Terry" McFlynn (born 27 March 1981) is a retired footballer from Northern Ireland who is most well known for playing for the A-League club Sydney FC.

McFlynn moved to Margate, initially on a one-month loan deal, but ended up being a useful three-year career, in November 2001.

McFlynn quickly became a huge favourite with the Margate fans, helped by a stunning debut goal against Boston United.

Following the advice of former teammate and one-time New Zealand captain Chris Zoricich, McFlynn moved to Australia to play in the newly formed A-League and was signed by Sydney FC manager Pierre Littbarski after a successful trial in February 2005.

McFlynn played the full 90 minutes as Sydney FC defeated the Central Coast Mariners 1–0 in front of 41,689 spectators to become the inaugural A-League champions.

In a match against Adelaide United at Hindmarsh Stadium in which he was given a straight red card he sustained five-week knee injury.

[5] In November 2009, Sydney FC held a press conference to inform the public that they had re-signed McFlynn on a further three-year contract, up until 2013.

[7][8] One of his greatest honours was standing in as captain for the Grand final as Steve Corica and John Aloisi were injured.

McFlynn joined reigning NSW Premier League Champions Bonnyrigg White Eagles making his debut on 11 May 2014 in a round nine clash against Blacktown City Demons.

[18] McFlynn would stay at Perth Glory for four years, before he was announced as the new director of football for New Zealand A-League expansion club Auckland FC.
