Terry is considered one of the greatest support players the game has produced and his long and successful career was based on his quest to succeed and a resolute toughness that empowered him through a record number of first grade appearances. Terry played eight games for NSW from 1981 to 1989. He would be selected to represent Australia in seven Tests from 1986 to 1988. Lamb's Test appearances were each as a reserve and it seems incongruous that one of the game's most creative players did not get the chance to score a point at Test or interstate level.
