Known as Zbignew, Zbignen, Ziggy & Zig, Zbigniew Niszczot was born in 1955 & was originally from Maitland. Niszczot came to Souths in 1980 on the recommendation of his captain-coach Johnny Mayes and went on to captain the Rabbitohs in the early 1980s. He scored two tries in the opening State of Origin match of the 1982 season and played in one other match for NSW the same year.
Ziggy became an instant hit with the Souths fans. The Hill Squad (called The Burrow today) had their songs, among them was ‘Ziggy Niszczot walks on water, tra-la-la-la’, to the tune of ‘Deck The Halls’.
When asked what advice he had for young rugby league players Ziggy once said “Don’t give up mate, just keep going don’t give up”
