Eric Simms (rugby league)
Eric Simms (born 1945 Karuah, New South Wales) is an Indigenous Australian former rugby league footballer who has been named amongst the nation's finest of the 20th century. His position of choice was at fullback although he could also play as a centre. Simms played his entire first grade career for South Sydney with whom he won four premierships and was top point-scorer for four consecutive seasons.
In August 2008, Simms was named at fullback in the ''Indigenous Team of the Century''.〔〔 Simms set several records in his playing days, some which still stand. He is also noted for his goal-kicking ability (field, penalty and conversion): he once kicked five field goals in eleven minutes (against Penrith in 1969).〔 It has been said of Simms and his ability to kick field goals that he is "one of the few men whose influence was such it singlehandedly changed the game."〔〔

He and his sister, Beverley, grew up on the former Aboriginal Reserve at Karuah, raised by his mother and stepfather, Fred Ridgeway, and with six other younger brothers and sisters.〔Beverley Manton, in ''Aboriginal Women’s Heritage: Port Stephens'', June 2004, The National Parks and Wildlife Service, (New South Wales Department of Environment and Conservation ), Hurstville, ISBN 1-74137-066-3〕
