- Shaun Johnson was in no mood to miss garbage day
- New Zealand Low Cost Container Vision Tells the Story
- Johnson, 34, retired in September after an enviable football career
NRL legend Shaun Johnson was recognized for his athleticism during what was a decorated football career, and this week showed his determination after missing out on the local litter pick race in New Zealand.
Johnson, 34, was “embarrassed” in a hilarious clip shared on Instagram by Low Cost Bins, with the vision showing how desperate the champion runner was to have his home’s rubbish taken to the tip.
The recently retired Warriors great can be seen chasing the garbage truck down the street after missing his morning pickup time by a matter of seconds.
He then enthusiastically chased the truck up the street, hauling away the trash, in an attempt to avoid a relatable domestic nightmare.
Johnson finally reached the truck and was relieved to see the contents ending up in the city’s vehicle.
Low Cost Binz blatantly labeled Johnson, your “trash rookie of the week,” and stressed the importance of residents having their bin ready for collection day at 7 a.m.

Johnson was signed by the Warriors in 2009 and two years later played in an NRL Grand Final against the Manly Sea Eagles.
While success as a premiership eluded Johnson for 13 years and 267 games, his attacking brilliance made him a crowd favorite in New Zealand and countless NRL fans.
He is famous for his key performance against Cronulla in September, producing a miracle move in the 79th minute to claim a 30-28 victory in his last NRL appearance.
And Johnson’s next step is to establish his own football academy.
“I’m passionate about helping younger players develop their game,” he said.
‘I am passionate about creating a program that gives you access to the knowledge you wish you had access to acquire.

‘I would have loved to have had some kind of mentor to give me an idea of what it takes to be a first-grade runner.
“I will look at the time, the space, the pace and the details of what it takes to be a top-grade player week in and week out with pressure on my shoulders.”
Johnson also appeared for the Kiwis in 35 tests and in 2014 received the Golden Boot as the best player in the world.
