Terry Hill RIP

[Once Was Brissie Kid]

Correct. This will be one of his unintended legacies.

Am I right he was married to a Fulton?

The links to Fulton clan are discussed here 'Bozo', Zac and the Fulton Indigenous legacy

Also apparently said by Crusher Cleal on Zac Fulton: “I suppose if you’re out of Terry Hill’s sister and Bob Fulton’s son, you’ve got to have a bit of footy in you.”

Family history: Three generations at one club an NRL first as Fulton tipped for debut

Zac Fulton is poised to follow in the footsteps of his father Scott and grandfather Bob for the Sea Eagles on Thursday.

Wow, so while Tezza was married to Kristi Fulton, Scott Fulton was married to Tezza’s sister!

That would also mean that Tezza was Indigenous too (unless he or his sister were adopted).

I will never forget this try from Tezza, with his busted shoulder and all. The Brookie crowd did its absolute nut. In the final minutes of his final home game for Manly. (Watch from 74:40 on the Ch9 game clock in the top left corner)

Was there for this game in Southern Stand, what a game it was and what a try by Tezza.

Nope. He was married to a Phillipino woman. His sister was married to Scott Fulton I believe but happy to stand corrected.

So sad. 52 years young. Jeez man. I don't even know what to say.

Yes it sure puts things into perspective. I myself will be turning 49 in less than 3 months time. I lost some years there and wasted quite a few. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm not in my 30's anymore far from it lol. I try my best to focus on my health but my mental health sure gets in the way of that at times. I always end up hitting a brick wall but I always seem to get back up in time and try and learn by my mistakes gradually. Tobacco is my curse. I am getting closer to eliminating them. In the last 6 or 7 months I have managed around 7 or 8 brief stints tobacco free (1-2 weeks). It's getting to that critical time for me now. Time is running out.

Terry Hill also destroyed the ARL player draft. Every NRL player owes him thanks.

Why do you say a player draft would be bad?

 

[Captain Moondog]

Sad, way too young.

Apparently the physical addiction is gone in 48 hours ,from what I learnt at the time and its just the power of the habit that remains . I gave up cold turkey years ago and disassociated my smoking habits like with beer or coffee etc one day at a time and haven't been back since .If you can get thru the 1st few days you probably have a great chance of quitting forever .
Anyways good luck mate

Same age as Shane Warne.

 

[Go manly]

****. I only just found out. He's only around 3 or 4 years older than me. Such an awesome player. Some of his arcing attacking runs were mesmerising where he would put the defence in some kind of a trance momentarily. Great defence also.

I was blessed to meet him on one occassion when I worked at a busy takeaway shop on the highway in the Blue Mountains. He came in with his workmate. I think they were representatives for a cleaning company or chemical company or something along those lines.

He placed an order of an assortment of fried food, seafood etc. I made sure I gave him double or more of what he ordered lol when my boss wasn't looking.

He gave me his mobile number and was going to organise for me to meet all of the players after one of the home games.

Unfortunately I worked extremely long hours and usually only got Monday or Tuesday off so it never eventuated. I was starstruck when he walked in I was lost for words so my boss Angelo took over and informed him how much of a die hard Manly supporter I was.

I remember him as a really genuine nice guy. He went well out of his way for me. He was one of the good guys that's for sure. Heaven awaits

Yep
That was bozos company called Chemsolve at the time
Tough and loyal to his team mates

 

[Brookie Bob]

I was there too - great try by Tezza to level it up....but how about the tackle by Tezza on Gordon Tallis with 20 seconds to go racing out of the line and taking tallis ball and all and smashing him with the Broncos looking to counter attack.

I was there too - one of the most unforgettable games ever. RIP Tezza.

 

[Damien2812]

So young and unexpected.

Condolences to the family. RIP... Terry Hill.

 

[Jethro]

Tezza.

My condolences to your family for their loss.

 

[Under the Sticks]

I miss NRL characters like Tezza in the times of players such as Nathan Dreary.

 

[Once Was Brissie Kid]

Why do you say a player draft would be bad?

Because it would force young men against their free will to go live in a place or work for an organisation that don't want to or to live away from family and friends.

 

[HoldenV8]

Being near his age (I'm 49) it puts things into perspective doesn't it.

RIP Tezza and thanks for the memories.
