“My dream was just to play for Souths” Terry Hill

This is an edited version of our Terry Hill interview in 2021. Terry tragically passed away aged 52 on the 24th April 2024. Rest in Peace.

[@infinitylimited9452]

I am extremely saddened and heartbroken to learn of the passing of Terry. Truly a sad day for South Sydney rugby league club and for the sport of rugby-league in general. Very, very sad. I always loved to have a beer with Terry. Terry was always an absolute gentleman, he was great to be around. I am shattered. No armbands worn by the team against Melbourne, why not? Rest in Peace Terry Hill. I will never forget you, mate!

[@Ulbre]

What a great insight in Terry Hill. Certainly a life lived to the fullest. Very sad passing so young. RIP.

[@karinahaase2386]

The shock is still deep. He was a legend. Deepest sympathy and sincere condolences to his family and friends. 🙏🙏😢❤️💚

[@slamman9887]

Hi everyone. I’m over here in the Philippines now and have spoken to Terry before here while he has been on holidays a few times over the years. I’m an ex Alex Rovers and RAB and Terry was out the night before at a restaurant my mate owns and passed away in the Hotel in Angels city in his sleep. He was loved here by the expats and was great mates with the owner of the hotel. He has a signed jersey here on display and it’s such a tragedy that he left us so soon. Total legend and I looked up to him. RIP mate.

[@BunniesTV]

Thanks for the info mate, appreciate it. So sad

[@user-uk7se7ez7r]

Very sad to hear. I lived in AC in the days when Changa Langlands used to bar hop there. Which hotel in AC was Terry staying at?

[@slamman9887]

It was the Wild Orchid.

[@user-uk7se7ez7r]

@@slamman9887 Thank you.

[@SweatBoy42]

I know he was Souths boy. He did spend time at other clubs. I recall his Manly days, and he played tough, a bit of lip, but backed it up. Fark me. 52. That's crazy to me. Makes no sense. RIP

[@markcurran6766]

Thanks for the memories rip thoughts family friends

[@bobhawke7373]

Thanks for the memories Terry. There was a moment where you were one of the best centres plying the trade

[@MAGGOO33]

Great Footballer, Great Bloke.. Thanks Terry .. RIP

[@marksargent2908]

Just comes across as a really diwn to earth fella!!!! RIP Tezza!!!!

[@ronanrogers4127]

Wow. So sad. Terry, you made a great contribution to league and were a top bloke. I remember you as a Sea Eagle, but it’s great to hear your love for the Rabbitohs. RIP champ.

[@MrOx85]

Genuine good bloke great footballer we will miss him.RIP Terry.😢

[@hibbsas9029]

Heartbreaking to say the absolute least. You brought joy to many Tez. Love from Auckland NZ

[@coffermartin77]

So sad. I met him a few times from the Zetland days but i didn't really know him well. He was younger and a grade below us but i was always hearing of this gun player called Terry Hill from others.I remember when he won the Zetland Club award for Best upcoming player at the Souths Juniors presentation. He had that cheeky grin back then too!! I have a few mates that grew up with him. I knew of his vegie business but hearing how dedicated he was with his business along with his partners, it's sad that he is no longer with us. Rest in Peace Terry Hill

[@perrybelmont7149]

R.I.P Terry

[@stevensmith8876]

Good bloke.

[@user-wo4bi1nt3v]

So glad to see this . RIP Terry Hill

[@mitchstetron]

Me too. Great to hear him talk about his life and career. I could listen to Terry talks for hours. What a legend.

[@warrenkable7009]

Great you see, thanks Mavo RIP Tezza

[@konefesa]

Rest in peace, Terry. Legend.

[@kielharper1524]

What a legend

[@sdebellis1]

Great interview, thank you.

[@seanyuke3249]

Rest easy mate. Some great memories of when it was a bit more loose in origin. Qlder by the way.

[@fantasticplanet33162]

Going on a Kangaroo tour must have been a dream come true

[@claytonives-og6kv]

Excellent interview Zetland was a good team to play against probably the best ground to play on too Zetland Oval

[@dimimaiden]

Still can’t believe that he’s gone. Rest in peace legend

[@unqualifiedsuccess3661]

Very sad day for South Sydney and rugby league. Why didn't the team wear a black armband in the Melbourne game? RIP Tezza

[@clevelandwilliams5922]

Manly Warringah Team didn’t do the same. He deserved better. I think Roosters, Tigers, Sea Eagles & Bunnies should remember his great career.

[@clevelandwilliams5922]

So sad, a great bloke. A man I grew up watching play from when I was 8 years old and until I was in my early 20’s. I was honoured to have met this man at Flemington Markets.

[@paulcullen2743]

Thanks Mavo for this interview. I remember it from last year. Terry was thrilled to be interviewed and we were thrilled to see and hear from the big fella Terry Hill was a fine football player and I am told an even better man There are many people hurting today after hearing of Terry's passing 5:39 RIP Champ Played strong done good

[@DonnyFreeman]

Vale Tezza, Aussie legend

[@gregdavis1341]

RIP 🙏

[@momentum-consultant]

Such a legend . Proper Erko boy . So many backyard greyhound trainers around Mascot/ Zetland back in the 70s/80s. Good wiz too 😉

[@davidronald2971]

RIP Tezza 🦅🦅

[@stevemadden9329]

A true Aussie character RIP Terry we need more guys like you.

[@gattingbowledwarne]

As a Queenslander and anti Manly diehard I hated this guy… because he was so good. He was a real competitor. Sad news.

[@sriley064]

Anti Manly is just red hot jealousy,one of our greats died no matter how he identified himself in this interview

[@coffermartin77]

By the way, can someone put down the link for the whole unedited interview? Thx RIP Terry Hill

[@Combinationlock]

R.I.P. Tezza

[@mrtjpeno1141]

R.I.P tezza

[@magicmike2319]

vale tezza

[@Liamrd28]

Ironic he was picked over a Manly junior that Fulton didn't rate.

[@scottnagy2009]

I know he did a lot of good things on the field but when he hit up keanu about making good coin off SPEED that was enough for me...Go NADS!!!!!!

[@timskin6259]

Rest in peace Tezsshhha

[@petergmred2005]

Being an easts fan I remember him hating going to my beloved chickens. He warned them not to draft him tho he did play really good for us. Funny af.

[@pharlapnz4630]

Clot shot takes another good man down!

[@graemeottey8131]

He’d be nothing without Manly Warringah, no premierships, no grand finals, no blues or kangaroos. At least Manly gave him some screen time and black armbands, even if he didn’t like being on the northern beaches.

[@colinamor]

Typical South's expel South's juniors watch them excell at other clubs and you buy rubbish players totally over it. 60+ years supporting . 2025 is what you need to start planning for. 2024 wooden spoon. Decrease full. Cameron Murray only player trying.

[@cmobutts270]

R.i.p. champion on & off the field.

[@allahsboot]

Terry hill..rare that one of the greatest sledgers the game will ever see,yet no one has a bad word to say about him.

[@clevelandwilliams5922]

He was a competitor on the field and was a top guy off the field. Rugby League community would be saddened by his loss. I met him in person at the Markets. Very generous and great guy.

[@stevensmith8876]

Good bloke.
