John "Jack"〔Richard Becht (Backs To The Future ), 16 March 2000〕 Simon (born 29 May 1972) is an Australian former rugby league footballer of the 1990s and 2000s. His club career was spent with the Illawarra Steelers, Easts, Parramatta, Auckland and Wests Tigers. Simon also represented for Australia and for New South Wales in Origin. He is of Indigenous Australian descent. ==Playing career== A Port Kembla local and Dapto junior, Simon made his first grade debut with the Steelers aged 17 and went on to make 120 appearances for the club between 1990 and 1995. He received the BHP Medal as the Illawarra Steelers' player of the year in 1994. In 1996 Simon moved to the Sydney Roosters but was unable to dislodge Adrian Lam from the first grade half spot and he moved to Parramatta for three seasons from 1997 to 1999. His apparent lack of fitness found him out of favour with coach Brian Smith and midway through 1999 he gained another release to play for Auckland (he was named captain in his second match with the club). After two seasons with the Warriors, Simon moved to the Wests Tigers where, despite some good performances for the club, he announced his retirement before the end of the 2001 season citing a lack of enthusiasm. The Tigers had been beaten 64-0 by Melbourne that weekend. In 2003 Simon was named in the commemorative Illawarra "Team of Steel" celebrating players from 25 years of the club's history. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Simon (rugby league)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
