- He was one of the best South American attacking midfielders of the 1950s, possessing extraordinary technical ability and great skill in executing unpredictable dribbles. He played most of his career for Universitario, where he became an icon by succeeding the club's greatest idol, striker Teodoro Fernández, and with whom he scored 115 goals in 210 matches.
- When the venerable "Lolo" Fernández began to think about leaving the fields, it was "Toto" Terry who replaced him in the passionate hearts of the fans. Those followers raved about the things the American did on the pitch. Fast, intelligent, and skillful. Someone once quite rightly said: Terry is a gringo born in Miraflores who plays with the soul of a Victorian Negro.
- Terry's game was sweet and talented. He executed plays with such skill that he bewitched the fans, even if they were on the opposing side. In 1949, his rise began. That year, people delighted in his play during the international summer season, where he was a mandatory reinforcement for all the local teams against foreigners. The most notable Brazilian and Argentine teams came to play, and the figure of "Toto" was a fixture in every game.
- He was considered one of the most complete players in the history of Peruvian soccer, possessing an enviable dribbling and a joyful, frontal, mischievous, and goal-scoring game.
- And that time, the yellow ball fell to his pylorus and fell asleep, rolling onto the instep of his right foot. "Toto" started the engine, put it in fifth gear, and He took off, chased by the wind. Chased by the shadows of the enemy's disorder, he then braked, breaking the laws of inertia. He veered 49 degrees to the right and broke the punishing scythe of the rival's impotence. One, two, three. The team in the green-and-yellow jerseys were gradually defeated by that blond, light-eyed rocket, and suddenly, the whiplash broke mercilessly with its devastating skill. It was enough. The Brazilian goalkeeper, Gilmar, thought he saw a flash of lightning and a scorching wind near the varnish of his fingers. It was enough—I say it—to raise the howl of the goal.
- He was a very complete attacking midfielder with devilish dribbling, frontal play, a mischievous, and a goal-scorer who stood out as one of the best South American players of the 1950s.
- He delighted Universitario fans with his excellent dribbling, also becoming a notable scorer, scoring 115 goals in the First Division.
