He is the father of Mark Beers and Tony Beers, who both also played for Collingwood. [1]
A half forward, Beers was a member of Collingwood's 1958 premiership team and kicked two goals in the grand final. In 1959 he kicked a career high 28 goals for the year and the following season he played in the Collingwood side which lost the 1960 Grand Final.
