The greatest "13" in the history of rugby. Period!! I still see him regularly. Very humble & always shakes everybody's hand upon greeting. Those calf muscles are still there....
I absolutely agree...best outside center that ever lived!! I was lucky enough to be a member of the same golf club as Danie so got to chat to him on plenty of occasions and he really is a top man!!
Danie Gerber played 24 tests for the South African Springboks between 1980 and 1992. That is the same amount of tests you play in 2 seasons in todays international rugby, and he scored 19 tries. a Man ahead of his time
Had the honor of playing against him between '92-'95, club level as a youngster. Secret was to not tackle him on the upper legs, like we were taught back then, because those were like concrete pillars, but in the area between the hip bone and the ribs, and do not go half way, or you will get injured.
He is the greatest centre ever. Strong, fast, intelligent, could step if both feet, strong defender and an aura like not many others have. A player that transcends generations, as he could play in any era, and would boss it. Due to isolation, the world didn’t really get to see Gerber, in his prime. Had they played more Test matches, it wouldn’t even be a discussion who is the best 13 of all time. He could play 12 and in the wings too. A South African legend. And not just in rugby. Everyone I’m SA know his name. Glad you found him. Greta content again and it would be great to see you continue this trend and look at NaaS Botha next. You mention Danie is elite. NaaS is right next to him, perhaps even a touch ahead He was a fly half, playing 10. He was the most hunted man in rugby history and opposition teams, went out of their way to injure him, and take him out of the game, because then, they might have a chance of winning. This was the 70’s, 80’s and early 90’s. there was bo cameras, no cards and punches was often as part of the match, as rucking and mauling, and Naas, was public enemy number one. And faaaar. Ore often than not, still came out on top. Hated when he played for the Bulls, Loved when he played for the Boks. SA’s first true sporting star. He is the 10, with the blonde hair, that you often see in this video, passing the ball, or getting it from Gerber after he scored a try. A legend and in my opinion, the greatest fly half of all time. A Genius who dominated proceedings. Big match temperament, serial winner. Could kick from both feet, from anywhere on the field, but was known as the King of Drop goals. He could kick 3 in the space of 10 minutes, and completely change the game, and keep the opposition guessing. And just when they think he is going to kick or drop again, he sends his backline and get the tries out wide. He was the General Keep up the good work
@WenMare in the meantime they're slaying ATM, what is your point? No one in the world, no matter what race you can think of, could compete with Gerber or Naas at the time.
In those days they still had day jobs. Some of them where even qualified as doctors and working while playing for their club and country at the same time. Some of them even smoked cigarettes during half-time, different breed of men. It was a complete amateur sport back then.
This was in a time when Rugby was still being played under the amateur code, so these blokes had dayjobs (some were farmers, doctors etc.) Gerber was so compact and powerful, the man has legs like a tree trunk
What makes this even more impressive, is that at the time rugby was not a professional sport in South Africa, which means most of those players still had day jobs.
Dah-nee Ghhhhrg-buhr was an absolute LEGEND, one of the BEST players to have ever played the beautiful game. Was a modern day player playin' in the 80s and early 90s. He would've comfortably fitted in today's Springbok back line with the likes of Kolbe, Willemse, LeRoux and company. 👌
I was privileged to see this man play many, many matches. Those shirts were very thick to protect the players, because it is also a winter sport and sometimes the fields were mud pools. Grass burns were also a real thing. That was a dream team and we were sanctioned back in those days, we didn't get much international games.
Those days rugby was an amateur sport. Danie " doring van Dispatch" played rugby because he loved it. He was the best 13 I ever saw in my life. I arrogantly thought in those days that this was the standard. 40 years later maybe Ireland's Brian O Driscoll reminded me a little of him. He was physically big but very seldom ran over people. That was the last option. He used speed, unreal acceleration off the mark, sidestepping, swerves to beat opponents. He would twist opponents inside out, quite often making them crash into each other. After he retired from international and provincial rugby in his 40's I had the privilege of watching him in a club game make the opposition players who were loaded with current springboks look very average. You could always see the delight on his face when he scored a try. Thank you for the memories
Those jerseys are making a comeback.. That old school style of jersey is sought after and more expensive than the modern ones...reason why fans like those old school jerseys cos it's reminiscent of the days of really hard core rugby
One of South Africa's big advantages is that our children started playing rugby when they went to school. That is from ages 7-8 and it was in the old day without rugby boots. At some schools, they were called the pink feet because of the cold. In some smaller towns, there is nearly no grass on the rugby fields. You had to play and tackle your oppositions. We had 3 centres of whom the oppositions afraid was. Mannetjies Roux snd Joggie Viljoen for their flying tackles and speed and Danie Gerber for speed and steps. Mannetjies Roux was a farmer in the Karoo too far away to exercise with the Sprinbok team during weekdays. His exercise was to run 10 kilos from his home to his farm's entrance with milk containers full of milk with 20liters in each container. It was those old metal milk containers. His tackles were exercised by him on his sheep in a dive, catching the sheep at their hind leg's , and that was between stones and bushes. Mannetjies and Joggie have tackled a few guys out of the game or out of the ball.
The 2nd best player in Rugby Union history (Lomu the 1st). Unfortunately the world could not see him for most of his career (due to apartheid), but South Africans did and know how good he was. He played in the amateur era (no sponsors and no money) so did it for the love of the game. He made me fall in love with the game. I salute you Koning Danie.
This was a great period for SA rugby. Thanks for it. If you have access to more rugby films, try to get some footage of Mannetjies Roux. His home province was Griquas, and he played more or less during the same period as Danie Gerber. That four-seam rugby ball!! If you could handle that leather ball when it became wet (heavy and slippery) you could handle about anything. The modern gum-covered balls do not absorb water the way the old leather ball did, so it's much easier to hold onto a wet ball. The goal kicker also stands a much better chance of not damaging ligaments when he has to kick a wet ball. When I was about six years old I got my rugby ball - an eight-seamer, not quite as pointed as the four-seamers, but still just as difficult to pick up once it has touched the ground. I used to treat it with Dubbin, a leather wax. It counterd hardening of the leather and helped prevent water penetration.
There is a reason why is called the prince of centres and even Martin Johnson who captained England in 2003 to a WC title included him in his best XV ever, even though he barely played against him. When Springboks came back into international rugby in 92 he was around 40 and even then could make tacklers look stupid. I also agree, he just looks like he might have won the speed race against most modern greats. He had a wicked side step, a sharp brain and exceptionally good hands. And from what I remember he had bad sight in one of his eyes. A highlight reel of him will never disappoint. Even with todays defensive patterns he would have been a beast.
Danie played with a heart defect his whole life without knowing it. Only a couple of years after retiring he had an attack and then they found the defect. He is still alive and well.
The best rugby player ever was Joost van der Westhuizen. Danie Gerber is still alive and he was the best center/winger ever that played the game. I played rugby form 5 years till I was 32 years old. I had to buy my own rugby boots, socks, pants and the school/club/province had sets or rugby jerseys. When I was at school you took the rugby jersey home after the match to be washed en the Monday you handed it in. At club/provincial, they took care of washing the jersey.
Lol, we are different over here in South Africa. My son is 16 years old and is bigger than me and i am big, not tall, but big. He also plays rugby and that child is solid, lots of muscle.
I was honoured to witness Danie Gerber + Micheal du Plessis and Helgard Muller + Eben Scheepers and Helgaard Muller + Frans Wessels playing the best three centre Pairs ever in South Africa, my farthers says Mannetjies Roux + Joggie Jansen was the best pair.
South Africans are generally big really built especially Afrikaaners and Zulus and that is men and women...so really upsets me when you hear people outside of SA always passing comments that South Africans are big because they are on performance enhancing substances ... meanwhile its just genetics...if u lived here you would soon realize certain cultural groups are huge and sturdy by nature
Don’t let them get into you is just envious and jealous. I have to defend our springboks to one Ireland fan who really annoyed me on a wrong day talking about steroids on SA I say something that makes him apologise. I went all the way with the Irish past he regret talking nonsense about South African players’ and I believe South Africa should not be quiet if someone talking nonsense about your country.🇿🇦
😂😂 We’re Afrikaans. I’m 5’9”, husband was 6’1”, my mom 5’10” and my dad 6’1”. My son is 6’4” (220) and strong as an ox, like his grandpa. He came to visit me at the school where I taught in Atlanta, and an American male teacher said, “Holy Mother of God, what do you feed him?!” He played rugby from 6yrs old until in his late twenties.
Danie Gerber is from my hometown. The best nr 13 ever. I once played a practice game against him. I was able to touch him only once. I have lots of photos and news paper clippings of him. You asked if he is still alive. Yes he is.
And to think in those times they actually had day jobs. Most were farmers, some actual school teachers lawyers, and Doctors. Until 1995 i think when it became professional
We did have KFC back in the day. Or as we called it "Kentucky" no "FC" back then. But yeh no sponsors, it was literally amature rugby. Some might have received bonuses, or a personal sponsor in terms of boots or kit. But in general, there was no salary. You had to take leave, to come and play.
There was faster players but danie was extremely fit. He can run 80 min like that on the field. Other players just make 2/3 breaks while Danie do it for whole game. Support play and how he use other players to create space on the field was just different.
Technically, thats wrong. We were banned on the world stage, aka World Cups due to the sanctions against South Africa because of Apartheid but we still had Professionals playing in-country.
@ yes some of the top players (still a very tiny %) were paid a little pocket money on the sly before 1995 but you can hardly class that as ‘professional’
@wernertukker5420 thanks Werner you've been most helpful. I was thinking more along the lines of secs per 100m quick. But u r correct. He was that quick.
Maybe not as fast as Habana but had the speed combined with strength, deadly steps from both left and right, and an ability to be in the right place and at the right time. He played a friendly aged well into his 40's against a current Transvaal's Lion's team and still wasted the young players. Could play 12,13 or wing. Tim Horn may be the closest in class but Danie still makes my all time team. Pity SA was banned while he was in his prime.
That man u look at him the best who ever played the game allong with little lion pumba sir cheslin kolby he is diffrent diffrent in such way no comparrisment a diamond cheetha
We will never know how good or average Danie was , sth Africa during his time was banned from international Rugby , so he never really played against the best ,though he surely had the skills to test any team....reminiscent of Christian Cullen running style his shear speed broke tackles and he has an awesome step as well
He was in my school we lived in same town.He did matric twice just to play rugby and could kick a leather rugby ball barefoot that it exploded. COULD JUMPSTART A BOEING WITH THOSE LEGS
Whahahahaha, Brian Habana and nobody in the world can beat a cheetah. Keep talking shyte. A Cheetah can do up to 130 kilometres per hour, no human can do that

Danie Gerber sold oxides and pigments to us.

Just like Habana, the strategy was just get the ball too Dannie 💯lol... The GOAT Dannie Gerber....
This was from the amateur era. It was not allowed to pay rugby union players back then. Thank you for the blast from the past.
Danie Gerber was the best rugby player of all time. If you disagree...I will wrestle you.

Fastest man to ever play for the Springboks was Tonderai Chavhanga...10.2 seconds for 100m. Bryan Habana rates second at 10.4 seconds..... 😁
Watch Jaco Reinach to see the fastest springbok in that era.

Someone like Danie Gerber is not born once in a generation. He is one born in a couple of generations.
So was Naas Botha, b.t.w.
Please react to Andy van der Watt he died this year (1946-2025) He is my dads housemaster from when my dad was at hilton he is suuuupper fast

Whahahahaha, Brian Habana and nobody in the world can beat a cheetah. Keep talking shyte. A Cheetah can do up to 130 kilometres per hour, no human can do that
You right. Brian Habana raced a cheetah for fun, but did not come close to winning or even competing. It was all in good fun.
