He played as a full back.

Life and career

Simmonite was born in Sheffield, Yorkshire,[2] and began his football career as an apprentice with Rotherham United. He then joined Sheffield Wednesday,[1] for whom he played just once in the Third Division – in a 2–0 defeat away to Chesterfield in February 1977[3] – before moving into Non-League football with Northern Premier League club Boston United the following year. He was voted the club's player of the year in his first season,[4] and won five caps for the England semi-professional national team.[5]

In 1980, Simmonite returned to the Football League with Third Division Blackpool for a £15,000 fee.[4] He made his debut in a 3–0 defeat at Brentford on 20 September, and went on to make a further 17 League appearances that season, under player-manager Alan Ball firstly, then Allan Brown.[6]

The following 1981–82 campaign saw Simmonite make 29 League appearances. He also scored one goal, in a 7–1 victory over Halifax Town at Bloomfield Road on 30 September.[6]

Under new manager Sam Ellis, he started the first sixteen League games of Blackpool's 1982–83 season,[6] before family reasons prompted a move to Lincoln City for a £6,000 fee.[7] He played regularly for the first couple of years, but then made no senior appearances until 1987,[2] after Lincoln suffered two consecutive relegations, becoming the first team to be automatically relegated to the Conference.[8] He acted as assistant manager in the early part of the 1987–88 Football Conference season,[9] and returned as a player in December, making 13 appearances as Lincoln returned to the Football League as champions.[10]

After leaving Lincoln, Simmonite appeared for Northern Premier League clubs Gainsborough Trinity and Matlock Town.[11]
