Stallard12 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Was chatting with the surgeon while he was whittling on a couple of my latest skin cancers - he was South African and a Springbok fan. I was telling him that Warrington (1960's ?) once had a South African player, but for the life of me I couldn't remember his name. He was a winger / fullback / goal kicker, can anyone remember his full name? I think that his first name was Toby ?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Toby Du Toit a winger but I think it was the 1970's. Couple more were Van Rooyen who played for Widnes in the 30's and Tom Van Vollenhoven who played for Saints in the 50's and 60's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallard12 Posted August 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Thanks Robbo. I had found the DuToit name on the internet, but it didn't ring a bell, I knew that it was Toby. I remember the guy though, big sucker for a winger, kinda like John Bevan but stouter. I remember in his first game, he was given the ball for his first attempt at goal and he went to the sideline asking for the sand bucket to make a tee. That was before anyone in the UK did anything but gouge out a hump with their heel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Wasn't there a Nick Du Toit as well who played for one of the clubs ? (60s/70s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latchford Locks Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 I am sure he scored a vital try to keep us in the CC semi final in 1972 at Wigan v St Helens but it ended in a draw and we lost the replay 4 days later. And Smith moans about turn round times between matches in these days of full time players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
