He believes something special.
Brad basically told Haddock, you need to get rid of this guy.
So that's his belief, whether that's true or not.
But whatever happened, he says Haddock came at him, came at him with a knife.
He says he managed, he stuck the knife in his neck and managed to thump him.
Like I said, Terry was a big lad and an ex-boxer.
He managed to deck him.
He hit the wall.
I think Haddock hit his head and then sprawled out.
Might have been knocked out for a couple of seconds.
Came to him, basically ran.
Okay, so Terry Fairfield is a character who was in the UVF during the, I think, late 80s, early 90s.
And he was part of a very notorious UVF mob in the Mount Vernon estate in North Belfast, which was led by two very well-known loyalist killers, Mark Haddock and Gary Haggerty.
And Fairfield...
became known as, his nickname was the mechanic.
He was involved with cars, he sold cars and dealt with cars.
He had a scrap yard, breaker's yard on the Antrim Road.
Even though he was a Catholic man from the New Lodge.
Until recently, all we knew about Fairfield was that he had fled England in the mid-90s
when he'd been informing on the UVF, just like half of the Mount Vernon crowd were.
