Terry Bluford Moore (May 27, 1912, Vernon, Alabama — March 29, 1995, Collinsville, Illinois) was a talented center fielder for the St. Louis Cardinals of American Major League Baseball (1935-42; 1946-48). When his playing days ended, he served two terms (1949-52; 1956-58) as a Cardinals coach and managed the Philadelphia Phillies for the last half of the 1954 season.
A righthanded batter and thrower, Moore joined the St. Louis Cardinals the year after the "Gas House Gang" won the 1934 world championship. He was a brilliant defensive center fielder, and — although not known for his batting — he hit .280 in 1,298 games with 80 home runs. He played on two National League championship and world champion teams: the 1942 and 1946 Cardinals. During his career (interrupted by World War II service) he played with greats such as Dizzy Dean, Joe Medwick, Frankie Frisch, Enos Slaughter and Stan Musial — all members of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
His managing career was brief and uneventful. After beginning the 1954 season as a Phillies' scout, he replaced Steve O'Neill as the club's manager July 15 with the team in third place. He managed the Phils for exactly half a season — 77 games — and the team won only 35 of those games (for a winning percentage of .455), falling to fourth. During the offseason of 1954-55, he was replaced by Mayo Smith.
Terence Moore (born June 2, 1958 in Moncton, New Brunswick) is a former Canadian national soccer team, NASL, and Irish League player.
A steady central defender Moore lived the first five years of his life in Moncton until his family moved to Northern Ireland. He grew up there and played in the Irish League for Larne and the famous Belfast club Glentoran. Moore made his international debut for Canada against Scotland in 1983, and played in all four games when the Olympic team reached the quarter finals in 1984. He was a member of the 1986 FIFA World Cup squad in Mexico in 1986, but did not play in the finals.
Moore played 118 regular season games in the NASL and 16 in the play offs from 1980 to 1984 for three different teams. He was a member of the Tulsa Roughnecks team that won Soccer Bowl in 1983 in Vancouver over Toronto Blizzard. With his NASL career over, Moore returned to Northern Ireland to play and live. He is currently a Belfast police officer.
In 2005 he was inducted into the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame.
Born Helen Koford, the Los Angeles, California, native worked as a model before she made her film debut at age 11 in 20th Century Fox's Maryland (1940). Throughout the 1940s, she worked under a variety of names (her own, Judy Ford and January Ford) before settling on Terry Moore in 1948. Placed under contract by Columbia, Moore was loaned out to RKO for one of her most famous films, RKO's Mighty Joe Young (1949); she received an Oscar nomination for her performance in Paramount's Come Back, Little Sheba (1952). In the 1970s, she was in the news more than she was in motion pictures, asserting that she was the secret wife of the late billionaire Howard Hughes (I).
