RIP Roger Terrell: Former Peterborough United chairman and high-profile city solicitor has passed away

Terrell was on the Posh board of directors for 10 years and chairman for a short period before stepping down soon after Peter Boizot took control of the club in 1997.

Terrell ran a well known legal business in the city, forming ‘Terrell’s LLP’ in Peterborough in May 1988. He was involved in some high-profile cases including murders and an IRA bomb plot.

Terrell had a reputation as an experienced litigation lawyer appearing in many cases before judges in the High Court, County Court and Family Court and was known UK-wide for his experience in paternity fraud.

He wrote a weekly column for The Peterborough Evening Telegraph under the heading, 'Is it Legal?'.

Sport was a major love of Terrell. He came close to becoming chairman of Luton Town in 2003, but protests from angry fans prompted him to step away.
