Richard Terence Heath, (17 November 1943 – 25 January 2011) was an English footballer, who played for Leicester City, Hull City, Scunthorpe United and Lincoln City.
Terry Heath joined his hometown club Leicester City as an apprentice in 1961, making his Football League debut in the 2–0 home win against West Ham United on 10 November 1962. He made four further appearances during the season scoring twice, his first goal coming in the 4–3 home victory over Manchester United on 16 April 1963.
The following season he made just three League appearances but did play in the first leg of the 1964 Football League Cup Final, a 1–1 draw at Stoke City on 15 April 1964. Leicester's 3–2 victory in the second leg one week later secured them the trophy.
The League Cup appearance would prove to be his last for the Foxes as during the summer of 1964 he linked up with Hull City for a fee of £8,000.
His spell at Boothferry Park was a frustrating one as he struggled to establish himself in the first team, making just 31 Football League appearances for the club in four seasons before moving on, in March 1968, to join Scunthorpe United for a fee of £5,000.
He made an immediate impact at The Old Showground, scoring on his debut in a 5–1 victory over Colchester United and going on to score five goals in 12 appearances though Scunthorpe finished bottom of Division 3.
