Life Membership GFNC - 2013
A determined little back pocket player, Simo started with the club in the late 70’s but his football career was cut short by a major knee injury. After an absence from the club, Simo returned and took on a role on the committee looking after the clubs sponsorship from the 1993 season through to about 1998. After that time Simo continued to support the club particularly with the clubs dinner auctions which he almost single handily ran bringing in many thousands of dollars for the club. When Simo’s son Shane joined the club in 2007 Simo returned to the committee for a short time and was instrumental in introducing the Tigers Club draws selling many tickets himself. In 2013 Simo’s work in raising Sponsorship money and general support for the club was recognised with a Life Membership. In 2014 Peter and Rose Simpson very generously donated a new Honour Board to the club in memory of son Paul who was tragically lost in a motor vehicle accident.
