Herschelle Gibbs celebrated his 50th birthday in style over the weekend. The retired cricketer and his nearest and dearest partied at a well-known dinner and dance spot in Cape Town.
Herschelle – who has played alongside icons like Jonty Rhodes and the late Hansie Cronje – retired from playing in 2010.
He has now taken up cricket coaching and presenting.
INSIDE HERSCHELLE GIBBS’S 50TH BIRTHDAY
In pics posted on his Instagram, Herschelle Gibbs celebrated his “50, Not Out” birthday celebration at the Pigalle restaurant in Cape Town.
Herschelle was joined by his parents, siblings, and his fiancée Dana Németh.
He posted: “What an evening celebrating my 50th with family and friends.”
The colourful cricketer kept his dress code funky with a bow tie and a pair of Nike “Panda” Dunks. His fiancée Dana wore a fitted pink dress that hugged her hourglass figure.
His sister Luci joked in her own post: “He turned 50 but says he is feeling like a 35-year-old”.
LOVE FOR RUGBY AND SOCCER TOO
While Herschelle Gibbs was known as a record-breaking batsman, unbeknownst to many, he was actually a talented rugby player too.
During his school days was drafted into the first-team rugby squads and would go on to play in the 1992 Craven Week final for Western Province against the Free State at Loftus in Pretoria.
Gibbs played alongside players like Robbie Fleck, Selborne Boome, Dave von Hoesslin, and Percy Montgomery, who would all go on to become Springboks.
Speaking to SA Cricketer Mag, Gibbs revealed that rugby was actually his first choice in sports. He said: “If it were up to me, rugby would have been my choice. Best team sport, I must admit”.
According to IOL, Herschelle could’ve gone pro at soccer too, after he played for Rygersdal FC as a youngster, and later had the opportunity to trial for Premier League club Arsenal.
WEDDING NEXT?
Meanwhile, Herschelle Gibbs and his fiancee are likely planning their wedding celebration after getting engaged last year.
A year earlier, Herschelle and Dana went public with their romance. “I’m one lucky guy, that’s for certain,” Herschelle said of his Hungarian model bae.
