Casey’s Leeds career was ended after being seriously injured in a car accident in April 1962. Hunter, who was in the car, said: “Casey and I raced each other to grab the front passenger seat and, needless to say, as I was not the fastest runner, I lost. It was foggy as we drove along Elland Road and suddenly Alan [Humphreys] was yanking the steering wheel to the right to avoid a lorry across the road … Poor Terry took the full brunt of the smash … I couldn’t help thinking that if I had been a little faster, it would have been me in that front passenger seat and me that suffered those life-threatening injuries.”
