Terry Dunfield

In the last Game of the season, against Chelsea, he came on in the 36th minute as a substitute for Jeff Whitley.

However, following the departure of Joe Royle and the arrival of Kevin Keegan, Dunfield found first-team opportunities hard to come by.

Terence Dunfield (born February 20, 1982) is a Canadian former soccer player, coach and pundit, as well as soccer analyst for TSN and colour commentator for OneSoccer.

As a player he was a midfielder who played in the Premier League although briefly for Manchester City, he also played in the English Football League for Bury, Macclesfield Town, Shrewsbury Town and Oldham Athletic, with a brief stint in Scotland with Ross County.

He also played in Major League Soccer for both Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Toronto FC, before finishing his career in local soccer with Toronto Atomic FC.

He was capped 14 times by Canada.

As a schoolboy, Dunfield played in a tournament at Keele, where he was scouted by Manchester City.

At the age of 15, he made the move to England to join up with City's youth set-up.

He progressed through a good youth team which included the likes of Shaun Wright-Phillips and Joey Barton.

Dunfield made his only Premier League appearance in 2001.

In 2002, he was loaned to Bury, where he revelled in the opportunity to play first-team football.

At the end of his loan spell, and although Keegan planned to offer him a new contract, Dunfield asked to leave City.

Dunfield subsequently signed a three-year deal with Bury, where he made 74 league appearances during his time with the club.

In January 2005, he suffered a broken kneecap in a Game against Leyton Orient, and at the end of the season he was released.

However, after seeing a specialist in North America, Dunfield underwent an operation and was told afterward that he would be able to play again in nine months.

He spent the last four months of rehabilitation at Manchester City, and in July 2007 he completed his comeback by signing for Macclesfield Town after a trial period during pre-season.

He went on to become the club's 2007–08 player of the season.

Dunfield signed for Shrewsbury Town in January 2009 for £65,000.

His first season was considered stop-start, and he struggled to fit into his new team's style of play.

However, his form improved the following season, and as a result he was handed his first full international cap by Canada.

After earning his cap, Dunfield was advised by Canadian manager Stephen Hart that he needed to be playing at a higher level than League Two if he had any aspirations of furthering his international career.

As a result, a month after gaining his cap he was allowed to leave by new Shrewsbury manager Graham Turner.

Turner said that he was "far from happy with the player basically implying that this club and English League Two football was not good enough for him."

On December 10, 2010, it was announced that Dunfield would be a member of Vancouver Whitecaps FC in Major League Soccer.

Dunfield made his debut for Canada's senior team in a 1–1 draw against Venezuela on May 29, 2010.

While on trial with Motherwell of the Scottish Premier League, Dunfield was offered a contract by the Vancouver Whitecaps, which he accepted with the knowledge he could move to the MLS club in 2011.

After making 12 league appearances for the MLS club, Dunfield was traded to Toronto FC on July 14, 2011.

Dunfield made his debut for Toronto on July 30 as a second half sub for Julian de Guzman against Portland Timbers, the Game ended as a 2–2 away draw.

On June 1, 2011, Dunfield scored his first international goal in a 2–2 friendly match against Ecuador at BMO Field.
