Former NSW and Australian centre Terry Hill has died in the Philippines.
It is understood he passed away from a heart attack.
A rugged centre with a colourful background, Hill had been spending more time in the Philippines during recent years.
He has been working with a charity overseas.
Hill’s family have been notified of his death.
He played 246 first grade games for Souths, Easts, Wests, Manly and Wests Tigers between 1990 and 2003.
“He was a typical kid from Erskineville,” said former Souths teammate Craig Coleman.
“Terry was a fantastic South Sydney junior and we looked after him when he came into grade.
“He was a tremendous footballer. I know his whole family. It’s very sad, devastating.
“He was loved by everyone.”
Hill represented NSW in 14 Origin matches between 1993 and 2000, also represented Australia 13 times including at the 1995 World Cup.
More to come...

Thschidt, that's bad newths.

He was a mad rat on the field. I liked watching him play, except for the Hartleys.

When you hear of people passing away so young it really puts life into perspective.

I’m the same age.

RIP Terry.

RIP Terry

You realise we are not as young as we once were.

Terry was integral in the draft being thrown out, a great player for sure.
RIP

Met him Phuket years ago at the Aussie bar on Bangla Rd. Had a few laughs with him that day, good memory.

RIP Charlie Hurley possibly the greatest centre half to play the game Sunderland legend.
He would say you need to give 100% for the Sunderland fans, something I believe every player should always give.
RIP

Early ELO stuff was the bomb. This was during an era when synths were big. Wakeman was at the top of his game. Yes was still around. I used to get into anyone doing synth stuff.

Sad to read Richard has passed.

RIP Ignatius Jones , aka Juan Ignacio Rafaelo Lorenzo Trápaga y Esteban AM, front man for so-called shock rock band Jimmy and the Boys passed away at his home in the Phillipines. I saw Jimmy and the Boys back in 1978 and they were a pretty good funk band in their day.

Wow, I guess I'm officially old.

The feeling is mutual Cools,

and just heard over breakfast that Steve Albini guitarist, producer of many fine bands incl The Pixies and Nirvana was gone courtesy of a heart attack. Age 62. I'll put in a kind word for his work with Cheap Trick, he produced their raw re recording of their "In Colour" album.
