Terence "Terry" Stoddart (28 November 1931 - October 2014) is an English former footballer who played as a wing half in the Football League for Darlington and York City. He was also on the books of Newcastle United without playing for their first team.[2]

Stoddart was born in Newcastle upon Tyne.[1] He represented Northumberland at youth level,[3] and began his club career in Newcastle United's nursery team.[4] He played for the club's reserve team for several years,[5][6][7] but never for the first team, and in May 1954 he moved on to Third Division North club Darlington.[8] He played only infrequently over two seasons, then spent a season with divisional rivals York City, again playing rarely,[1] before moving into non-league football with Poole Town.[9]
