Terry Ryan was St Stithians first national sportsman.
Ryan joined the tennis circuit in the 1960s, reaching #100 in the rankings in June, 1974. Notably, he pushed Arthur Ashe to five sets when they met in the second round of the 1969 Wimbledon Championships. He won the first two sets before the fifth seeded American came back to win and ultimately make the semi-finals.
He reached the 3rd round of the men’s singles at the French Open twice: in 1968 and 1971 and similarly at Wimbledon in 1966 and 1970. He reached the 2nd round of the US Open in 1966.
In 1971 he partnered with Zeljko Franulovic to make the 4th round of the men's doubles at the French Open, then teamed up with Jimmy Connors at that year's US Open and reached the third round. His best singles results on the Grand Prix circuit were quarter-final appearances at Eastbourne in 1971 and Newport, Wales in 1973.

"Sandton's most important civic organisation, the Sandton Civic Foundation, was also created in response to the Milstein report. The genesis of the Foundation is directly attributable to Mr Eric Gallo, who, together with men such as Mr "Punch" Barlow, established the Foundation on 10 Decelnber 1973 to "...preserve and restore 'indigenous trees and shrubs along the river trails"; "save hundreds of areas' .:. for the preservation of the natural beauty of the area"; and to ensure that "...the town should not attempt to compete with other towns and cities for industries and commercial enterprises...". The Sandton Foundation aimed to keep the area "...in the same way in which we found it". Another objective was to provide social, cultural, and artistic amenities."
