Terry Wallace was a good if not outstanding centre position player in a champion team at Hawthorn, briefly at Richmond and at Footscray ( Western Bulldogs).

His talent also applied to coaching taking the Western Bulldogs from 15th in 1996 to 3nd in 1997 - a feat the side repeated in 1998. He employed many novel ideas as Western Bulldogs coach, including warming up the side on the field before the match. A number of his tactics were or are still used by other coaches.

In August 2004, he was appointed Senior Coach of Richmond for five years from 2005, replacing Danny Frawley .
