Terence "Terry" John Skiverton (born 26 June 1975) is a former English footballer who enjoyed a long playing career at Yeovil Town for 11 years, appearing 382 times in all competitions, before becoming their manager and subsequently, assistant manager, manager and then assistant manager again.
As a player, Skiverton started his career at Chelsea, failing to make a first-team appearance but made many reserve appearances, making Captain of the reserve team before moving to Wycombe Wanderers – initially on loan – and then dropping out of the football league by moving to Welling United. He finally retired with Yeovil in 2010. As captain, Skiverton took Yeovil into the Football League for the first time in their history. While playing for Yeovil in the Conference he was called up several times for the England Semi-Pro side and made four appearances.
Skiverton was born in Mile End, London, and began his career as a trainee at Chelsea, but never made the first team. After a loan spell he made the permanent move to Wycombe Wanderers in 1996, and a year later dropped out of league football to join Welling United. He also had a short spell in Norway in 1995, playing for Sandefjord Ballklubb in Norwegian First Division.
He joined Yeovil from Welling in 1999, and was a key part of the club, playing at centre-back as they gained promotions from the Football Conference up to Football League One.
After joining Yeovil he gained cult status with the fans and is a hero at the club, playing over 300 league games before becoming player-manager of the club. Skiverton announced his retirement from playing on 9 May 2010 after appearing 382 times and scoring 42 goals in all competitions making him Yeovil's tenth most-capped post-war player.
