The Springboks can lay claim to several golden oldies and legends. Percy
Montgomery most certainly fits the bill. Where is Monty now?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


PERCY MONTGOMERY THE SPRINGBOKS POINTS MACHINE

At the start of his career, Percy Montgomery was known for his flashy,
flamboyant skills. However, as he matured and settled into his roles for the
Springboks, Sharks, Stormers and various clubs abroad, Monty became one of the
most dependable players in the world. He was often the first name on the team
sheet. A career tally of 102 caps and 893 points for South Africa bears
testament. Only six players in history pulled on the green & gold jersey more
often than Percival Colin Montgomery, and no player amassed more points. At his
best, Percy was rock-solid as the last defensive line and used his in-game
intelligence and tactical smarts to join attacking movements at opportunistic
moments. Off the kicking tee, Percy was a metronomic maestro with that
abbreviated run-up. 105 of Percy’s points for his country came at the 2007 Rugby
World Cup when the Boks beat England in the final. Monty led the individual
scoring charts that year.

A WELL-TRAVELLED STAR

Percy had stints with Newport and the Dragons in Wales before a short spell with
French outfit Perpignan in 2007. Between 2001 and 2008, he was also a valued
member of the Barbarians.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


LIVING LA VIDA LOCAL IN CAMPS BAY

Percy has started a tequila brand El Centurion 102, paying homage to his
Springbok test cap tally and the fact that he was the first to bring up a
century. He lives on the Atlantic seaboard of Cape Town. The author of this
article was lucky enough to summit Lion’s Head with the legendary fullback,
alongside a bunch of other patriotic South African rugby lovers. This was an
informal gathering to drum up support just before the Springboks travelled to
Japan to contest the 2019 Rugby World Cup. That ended pretty well. Percy also
coached the SA Rugby Legends vs the Portuguese Barbarians last year in Portugal.
For a laugh, you know?

Join Percy on Instagram as he continues tackling life’s side quests on his
travels.

The trails surrounding Lion’s Head are a delight for runners and hikers alike,
especially when adorned with pink flowers in spring. IMAGE: jamofreemantle / IG.
