Terence Alan Hurlock (born 22 September 1958) is an English former professional footballer who played as a central midfielder. Over the course of a 15-year career in the Football League, he had notable spells with Brentford and Millwall. He won England B international caps while with Millwall and is a member of the club's Hall of Fame. A physical player, Hurlock received seven red cards during his career and in 2007 was rated by The Times as the 23rd hardest player in football. Playing career Early years Hurlock was born in Hackney and started his football career as an associate schoolboy with West Ham United, becoming an apprentice in April 1975. He failed to progress at West Ham and was released at age 18. Hurlock dropped into non-league football and played for Isthmian League clubs Enfield and Leytonstone/Ilford. Brentford After some attention from AFC Bournemouth manager David Webb, Hurlock joined Third Division club Brentford in August 1980 for a £10,000 fee. He immediately established himself in the midfield alongside Chris Kamara and Stan Bowles, making 42 league appearances and scoring four goals during the 1980–81 season. He flourished under Fred Callaghan's management and averaged over 44 league appearances a season, even after Callaghan was replaced by Frank McLintock. A hard player, Hurlock's long curly hair, earring and beard led the Brentford supporters to nickname him 'Gypo'. Callaghan managed to convince Hurlock to smarten his appearance, as Callaghan believed Hurlock's rough appearance was influencing referees to book him. Hurlock captained the Bees to the 1985 Football League Trophy Final, which was lost 3–1 to Wigan Athletic. Hurlock departed Brentford in February 1986, having made 263 appearances and scored 24 goals. Looking back in 2002 on his time with the Bees, Hurlock said "I loved my time at the club and living in the town". In a Football League 125th anniversary poll, Hurlock was rated the fifth greatest-ever Brentford player and the club's fifth-greatest captain. Reading Hurlock signed for high-flying Third Division club Reading in February 1986 in a £92,000 deal. He made 16 appearances during the remainder of the 1985–86 season and helped the Royals to the Third Division title and to Second Division football for the first time in 55 years. Hurlock's performances saw him named the Third Division PFA Team of the Year. He made 19 appearances in the Second Division before departing Elm Park on 12 February 1987.
