Terry McFlynn

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

Early life

McFlynn grew up in Swatragh, in Northern Ireland to a Catholic family. He played Gaelic Football for the first sixteen years of his life, one of Ireland's traditional sport, before he switched to football on advice from his uncle.

Club career

McFlynn began his footballing career in England as an apprentice at Queens Park Rangers in 1996. McFlynn made only two first-team appearances in his five-year stay at the club - his first-team debut was made on 28 April 2001. He was released in 2001 and signed for Woking. McFlynn made 10 appearances for the West Surrey club scoring only once, in a short half year deal.

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. He made 63 appearances for the club and scoring a total of 11 goals. A hamstring injury late in 2002 saw McFlynn miss several key games and as a result was sold to Morecambe.
