Don Kitchenbrand
Don Kitchenbrand (also Kichenbrand; born 13 August 1933) is a retired South African football player who played in Britain for Rangers and Sunderland in the mid to late 1950s. Nicknamed ''The Rhino'' by the club's fans, Kitchenbrand was one of very few players of the Catholic faith to play for Rangers between the 1920s and 1980s, between which times an unwritten rule was in effect; he was advised not to disclose his religion when signing. In his first season in British football ( 1955–56), he scored 24 goals in 25 league appearances to help Rangers win the Scottish League title. That goal tally included the only goal in a 1–0 win over Old Firm rivals Celtic on 2 January 1956, and a five-goal haul in an 8–0 rout of Queen of the South at Ibrox on 7 March 1956. Kitchenbrand didn't feature much for Rangers after that first season, having lost his place in the side to Max Murray, and left for Sunderland in March 1958. He played 54 competitive games for Sunderland, scoring 2 ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Both men made fortunes and the town sprang up 2 km from the Simmer and Jack mine named after Jack's fathers farm. In 1921, the world's largest gold refinery, the Rand Refinery, was established at Germiston. Seventy percent of the wes ...

Hat Trick
A hat is a head covering which is worn for various reasons, including protection against weather conditions, ceremonial reasons such as university graduation, religious reasons, safety, or as a fashion accessory. Hats which incorporate mechanical features, such as visors, spikes, flaps, braces or beer holders shade into the broader category of headgear. In the past, hats were an indicator of social status. In the military, hats may denote nationality, branch of service, rank or regiment.
