DOB: 15 September 1961

Played 349 games (1980-1996)

Terry Lamb became known as "the back-up man" for his instinctive ability to support ball carriers. A renowned match winner, Lamb scored 164 tries throughout his glittering career.
Arguably the greatest support player in the game, he began his career with Wests after Canterbury were hesitant to sign the former Bulldogs junior at the age of 18.
Debuting at half back, he played four seasons for Wests including an outstanding final season which saw him awarded the 1983 Dally M Player of the Year.
Moving to Canterbury, he was an immediate star at Belmore, scoring 17 tries & leading the try-scoring list for 1984 in his first season with the Dogs. His consistent form saw him selected for his first Test against New Zealand in 1986 before touring with the Kangaroos - becoming the first player to play every game on tour.
He also played 8 State of Origin games for NSW. A leg injury ruled Lamb out of the Bulldogs' 1985 Grand Final victory, but he tasted success three years later - albeit controversially - when he scored half the points and inspired his side with a crunching tackle on Balmain star Ellery Hanley in the 1988 decider.
In the twilight of his career, Lamb achieved another premiership when he was instrumental in Canterbury's unlikely win over Manly in 1995.
