Nick Terry (born 15 September 1967) is an English former professional snooker player.
Terry turned professional in 1988, by defeating Maurice Parkin 10-5 in a play-off, after finishing third in the pro-ticket series. He lost his first professional match, at the 1988 International Open, 2âÂÂ5 to Colin Roscoe. In his first season, Terry reached the last 32 of the 1989 Classic, where he led Doug Mountjoy 4âÂÂ3 but lost 4âÂÂ5. In the 1991âÂÂ92 season, he reached the last 32 in two events - the 1991 UK Championship, where he lost 7âÂÂ9 to Neal Foulds having led 5âÂÂ1 and 6âÂÂ3, and the 1992 European Open, where Martin Clark defeated him 5âÂÂ3.
More last-32 runs followed in the next season; in the 1992 Grand Prix, Foulds again defeated him, this time 5âÂÂ2, while in the 1993 British Open, Terry lost 3âÂÂ5 to John Higgins. Terry won three matches at the 1994 Welsh Open, where but lost in the last 16, 4âÂÂ5 to Jimmy White. At the International Open of that year, he was whitewashed 5âÂÂ0 in the last 32 by Stephen Hendry. Terry qualified for the main stages of the 1996 World Championship, beating Steve Judd, Stephen Murphy and Dean Reynolds before meeting Ken Doherty in the last 32. Terry lost 5âÂÂ10.
Having finished the 1996âÂÂ97 season 68th in the world rankings, Terry was forced to enter the qualifying events in the next season to regain his professional status. Those performances were sufficient, and he returned to the tour in 1998; however, he could not recover his top-64 place and left the professional ranks once more in 2001.
