Gert 'Oupa' Coetzer was one of the true greats to have played for Trinity and a gentleman by all accounts. I feel very privileged to have seen him play in the number 5 shirt which he made his own. One of those few players who got you really excited whenever he touched the ball. RIP Gert and thanks for some wonderful tries.

Yes, I remember him little wayne. A contemporary of the afore mentioned Dorrington. He was on the wing as I recall.

I hawked The Green Un around Flanshaw with my mate. We picked them up on Saturday tea time from the YEN office in The Springs. When we'd had enough we would dump the papers over a wall and go and do something else.

Too young to comment on the great players of the 60s, but my Dad speak fondly of the players that pulled on the shirt during this era.

RIP Gert

Very good and informative half-page article about the late, great Gert (Oupa) Coetzer in Today's League Express. For those who weren't around at the time, an ideal insight.
