Percy Montgomery announced his retirement from international test rugby on August 30th, 2008, after the Springboks hammered Australia 53-8 in their last game of the 2008 Tri-Nations. When he retired he held the all-time records for both caps and points for the Springboks.

Love him or hate him you got to admit that the South African stalwart was always someone with a sense of humour. (Why else would he have chosen the Dragons?)

Always a class act and sometimes controversial figure Percy will be missed from the world stage.

Good luck!

Enjoy the pictures below. They were once mentioned by YoungMan over here on the UAFC site, though despite waiting nearly a month he failed to deliver any pictures so we got them from somewhere else. (And it wasn’t  from colinh either for, as you can see, the pictures are in focus!)

South Africa, Percy Montgomery.
