*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Terence Lionel Paine MBE (born 23 March 1939) is an English former professional footballer. Originally from Winchester, Paine is best known for his career with Southampton, for whom he made over 800 appearances (a club record) in 18 seasons with the club. He played primarily as a winger, but was also comfortable in other midfield positions and as a forward.
Paine began his career as a youth player with local club Winchester City, before signing professional terms with Southampton in 1956. He quickly became a regular for the team as a right-sided winger, and was also on occasion played on the left wing, in the centre of midfield, or up front. In 1960, he was a part of the squad which won the club's only Third Division title, and in 1966 helped the club to its first promotion to the First Division. Paine left Southampton in 1974, after the club was relegated back to the Second Division.
For the last three years of his playing career Paine played for
At international level, Paine represented England between 1963 and 1966. He was part of the 1966 World Cup squad, which England subsequently won. Paine only played one match at the tournament, and as only the 11 players on the field at the end of the final received medals, he had to wait until 2009 to receive a winners' medal.
Club career
Winchester City
Paine worked as a coach-builder at Eastleigh's British Railways depot, and played his early football for his local club, Winchester City and featured in their Amateur Cup run in 1956–57.[1] He had trials at both Portsmouth and Arsenal (for whom he scored twice in a trial match) but Winchester's manager was former Saints player Harry Osman who alerted Ted Bates to Paine's potential and in August 1956, the Football Echo reported "Terry Paine, a Winchester City forward, in whom Arsenal were interested has been added to the playing staff list."[1] Paine had been deemed "a bit small" at an earlier trial at Arsenal.[1]
Southampton
Paine signed amateur forms with Southampton in August 1956 and then in February 1957, Saints signed Paine as a full-timer when he appeared in a reserve game against
Oozing confidence, the young winger often ruffled a few feathers among his more senior colleagues and some raised their eyebrows at the rapid promotion of Paine.[1]
Possessing superb ball-crossing skills, Paine could "land a ball on a sixpence" and Derek Reeves and George O'Brien were the first of many forwards to capitalise on the expertise of Paine, when Saints were Third Division champions in 1959–60.[2][3]
Paine was the regular replacement when a goalkeeper became injured (this was before substitutes were allowed). In the first match of the 1961–62 season, at home to Plymouth Argyle on 19 August, Ron Reynolds broke his ankle. Paine replaced him in goal but let in 2 goals so he in turn was replaced by Cliff Huxford; unfortunately Paine was unable to create the equalising goal and Saints lost 2–1.[4]
Over the next few seasons Paine, with help from fellow-winger John Sydenham, provided the pinpoint crosses on which forwards such as Ron Davies and Martin Chivers were to thrive. Gradually, with the almost total demise of wingers, Paine took his passing proficiencies into midfield and his dextrous distribution was partially instrumental in the launching of Mick Channon's rise to prominence. Steering clear of serious injury in a remarkable way, Paine was often guilty of committing petty fouls and any games missed were usually the result of suspensions arising from such indiscretions.[1]
In his Southampton career he made 713 league appearances, scoring 160 goals, plus a further 102 cup and other appearances, with another 27 goals.[1] This places him fourth on the club's list of all-time goalscorers.[5] He was an "ever-present" for a record number of 7 seasons.[1]
An era ended when Bates retired from management in 1973 and Paine moved to
Hereford United
In July 1974, Paine became player-coach at Hereford United where, alongside manager John Sillett, and serving prolific scorer Dixie McNeil, he helped United romp away with the Division Three championship.[1]
International career
Paine was recognised at England Under-23 level and scored in an England Under-23 match against Holland in March 1960. In 1963, he won his first full cap and later that year he scored a hat trick at Wembley against Northern Ireland to become the first outside-right to score three goals for England since Stanley Matthews in 1937.[1]

Management career

Media career

Personal life

In 2009, Paine was awarded an honorary degree by Solent University.[14]
