He is a big supporter...they were national club champs a few years back...the colours the horses runs in are the same as the club jersey.

I think those colours belonged to a man called Allan Leonard a patron of Brian Wiid, Im 95% sure. He also took the colours from a rugby club near Turfontein. Union rugby club

Mostly correct chaps, Hammie is an ex Hamiltons rugby player and now the main investor behind the club. Bryn Ressel is his name and there's no shortage of the green stuff !!!! Involved in oil trading for a start. The colours are indeed the club's which is in fact the oldest rugby club in SA dating from the late 1800's. he's mainly in partnership with a few blokes, including Mike Bass, Shirtloff, Bortz etc
