TRIVIA: The skilful and vastly experienced midfielder also used trickery to gain an advantage. At times, he would pull down the opposing goalkeeper’s shorts during a corner enabling his team to score, and he would also con unsuspecting defenders into believing the referee had blown the whistle and the poor opponent would pick up the ball in the box only to give away a penalty.
Simutowe is married to Grace Daka with whom he had six children. Boniface Junior played for Profund Warriors while Aaron played as a left-back for Zanaco, the Zambia Under-20 national team and later played professional soccer in the United States.
Boyd and Hope also played but did not reach their father’s heights. Simutowe’s brother Levy played for Ndola United while his nephew is chess Grandmaster Amon Simutowe.
