Vale Terry Butler

Farewell to former Queensland Maroons and Brisbane Rugby League winger Terry Butler.

Butler, a Townsville Souths junior, passed away 4 October aged 58 after a battle with lung cancer.

Butler represented Queensland in the second game of the 1983 Origin series and will forever be recognised in elite company as FOG No. 39.

Butler was a fan favourite at Wynnum, where he scored the first try in the club’s maiden grand final win in 1982.

During his time with the Seagulls, he played alongside internationals including Wally Lewis, Rod Morris, Colin Scott, Bob Lindner, Greg Dowling and Miles. He also played in Wynnum Manly’s 1984 premiership-winning team.
