Original founding members of the club included Frank Hauff, Gene Gladstone, Tom Jones, Cliff Schlereth, Bob Meyer, and John Himmelman,[citation needed] who the Black side MVP award is named after.

The Bombers attracted many talented athletes and rugby players during the 1970s and 1980s, but finished as runner-up to the powerful and now defunct St. Louis Falcon's RFC for most of the two decades.

The tremendous Bomber tradition of playing hard rugby, supporting your club mates, and having a lot of fun doing it was built during this time.

Jim Boggeman, Ron Laszewski and a few others created the St. Louis Bomber RFC bylaws that are used by the club today.

John McBride has had the challenging and rewarding job of coaching the Bombers after legend Ron Laszewski.

The Bombers have a strong network of alumni in St. Louis and across the country that continue to support and follow the club's activities and successes.

Successful on and off the field, the St. Louis Bombers Rugby Football Club continues to grow and improve since its inception in 1962.
