Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on March 15, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Percy Montgomery! Like a well-placed kick from fullback, your legacy still sails smoothly through the rugby halls. Who can forget those golden-haired sprints downfield while helping Western Province snag Currie Cup titles in '97, 2000 and 2001? Or how you effortlessly sent balls soaring through goalposts to secure victory for the Springboks?

Years might pass faster than opponents chasing your shadow on-field—but legends age gracefully (and you haven't lost that iconic hair!). Here’s hoping this year brings fewer tackles and more celebrations reminiscent of your finest tries.

Stay brilliant—you're forever young in our memories, Monty!
