The late Glynn Davies, who immigrated from Wales and worked at the Simmer and Jack mine in the 1930’s, was through his dedication and involvement (as player, coach and committee member) at Simmer & Jack and later Germiston Simmer and also with the Kwaggas and the Kwagga-Barbanans, a true stalwart. Simmer boys that were instrumental in Transvaal winning the Currie Cup, were Barry Schmidt (1952) and Piet Coetzee (1974). Transvaal captains from the ranks of Simmer are Okkie Oosthutzen (1957 - 1960) and Come Pypers (1974- 1980). Thoroughbred Springboks produced by the club are Attie van Heerden, who scored the most tries on the 1921 tour to Australia and New Zealand. He was a colourful person and a particularly talented sportsman that also took part in the Olympic Games in 1924 as a Springbok athlete. Another very well known Springbok from the ranks of the club was Johnny Buchier, fullback of the 1951/52 tour to the British Isles. Other Springboks that pulled the black jersey over their heads, include inter alia Bob Loubser (1910), A.C. Stegman (1909), Hoppie van Jaarsveldt (1945), Mike Jennings (1975), Henning van Aswegen (1964). More recently the likes of Heinnch Rodgers and Jannie Breedt are players that played for Simmer whilst Hannes Strydom, Ian McDonald and Balie Swart were involved at Simmer but not in the capacity as players. Some of the players that represented Transvaal include Jimmy Kotze, Trevor Burn, Koos Ehlers, Piet Coetzee, Fannie van Zyl, Gert Strydom, Johan Claasen, Corrie Pypers, John Minnaar, Peter Wilkenson, Joe Coetzer, Tommy Symons, Jannie van Deventer, Johan Sklaar, Piet Conchar, Gwilym Davies, Albert Rapp, Gerald Venter, Colin Jones, Joe van Vuuren, Henning van Aswegen, Charles Rossouw, Jannie Breedt, Heinnch Rodgers and Kobus van Deventer |
