In case you missed the news, rugby league legend Terry Hill passed away this week, aged 52.
Hill made 246 first-grade appearances during spells at Manly, Wests Tigers, Western Suburbs, Eastern Suburbs and South Sydney. It is understood he passed away after a heart attack.
Hill played 14 State of Origin matches for NSW and also represented the Kangaroos on nine occasions.
Former Australian representative and Manly player David Gillespie was in the Philippines with Hill at a fundraiser last week.
“Only a few days ago he was fine,” Gillespie said. “He was the life of the party. He MC’d the day and had everyone in stitches – his usual self – and was quite funny and entertained everyone from the afternoon, and that’s the last memories I’ve got of him.
“I stayed a couple more days after that and we had a few beers together the next day.
“We both went over to Manly at the same time. Terry was tough, uncompromising, he was a sledger but he could take it and give it … he was a tough player. He was a great footballer.”
