Today, 03 June, we celebrate the birthday of Johan Ackermann, who was born on this day in 1970.
Johan is a South African Rugby Union coach and former player. He played in the lock position and was well known for his physical approach to the game.
In 2007, at the age of 37, he became the oldest Springbok to play for the national side. After the 2007 World Cup in France, he was recalled to the Springbok squad to play against the Barbarians. This was his last outing as an international player.
Ackermann bowed out of professional rugby on a winning note on 1 March 2008, when the Sharks defeated the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld.
