Benny Green was the first Grange Hill pupil seen on screen, and it was Terry’s talented portrayal that persuaded the audience to fall in love with the talented footballer who couldn’t afford a pair of boots.

It was always clear that Terry had huge affection for his time in Grange Hill and he attended last year’s Grange Hill Memories convention where he talked animatedly about his time on the show.

hillboysv2As well as acting, Terry was a hugely talented street artist, producing a range of work and exhibitions, often inspired by Grange Hill.

GHG was fortunate enough to interview Terry and meet him again the following year. He was a friendly, thoughtful, engaging  and talented speaker and lit up the room at last year’s convention ; bringing together people from all eras.

Terry Sue Patt will be sorely missed.
