Andrew Johns, known by the nickname Joey, is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1990s and 2000s and is considered one of the greatest players of all time. He captained the Newcastle Knights in the National Rugby League and took part in the only two premiership victories of the club, in 1997 and 2001, playing a club record 249 games. He played 21 Test matches for Australia, including two World Cups and a Kangaroo tour, and 23 State of Origin matches for New South Wales. He retired in 2007 at the age of 32 after a neck injury, having been one of only four players to win the Golden Boot Award more than once and one of two to win the Dally M Medal three times. In 2012 he was named the eighth Immortal of rugby league.
