Herman Peters (1899-1989) was an Australian rugby league footballer of the 1920s.[1] An international representative centre, he played his club football with North Sydney in the NSWRFL premiership and won two premierships with the club.[2]
Peters played eight games of the 1921 NSWRFL season in which the North Sydney team won the premiership without having to play a final. As part of Norths' champion backline, he gained selection on the 1921–22 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain,[3] along with clubmates, Blinkhorn, Rule, Horder, Ives and Thompson. He went on to play in the 1922 NSWRFL season's Premiership Final for Norths, scoring a try to help them claim consecutive premierships. In the 1923 NSWRFL season, Peters was the premiership season's top try-scorer. He scored 16 tries in 18 games. [4]
Peters coached North Sydney in the 1934 NSWRFL season. He later went on to be a National Selector for the ARL. He was known as "The Grand Old Man" of the North Sydney Bears club and was a staunch supporter right up to his death in 1989. [5]
