Terry Darracott (6 October 1950 – 22 March 2022) was an English professional footballer who played as a left back for Everton and Wrexham in the Football League and for the Tulsa Roughnecks in the North American Soccer League.[1]

On retiring as a player he held coaching positions at Everton, Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers, and was employed as a European scout for Bolton Wanderers.[2][3]

In October 2008, Darracott joined Wrexham as assistant to manager Dean Saunders, with whom he had worked at Blackburn.[2] Restricted mobility due to a hip problem forced him to leave Wrexham a year later, and he returned to scouting for Bolton.[4]

He provided opposition analysis as part of Hull City's scouting team.

Darracott died on 22 March 2022, at the age of 71.[5][6][7]
