- Shawn Johnson was in no mood to miss trash collection day
- Vision from Low Cost Bins in New Zealand told the story
- Johnson, 34, retired in September after an enviable career
NRL legend Shaun Johnson was known for his athleticism during a successful football career – and this week he showed his determination after missing out on a local New Zealand litter-picking competition.
Johnson, 34, was ’embarrassed’ in a hilarious clip shared on Instagram by Low Cost Bins, with the sight showing just how desperate the champions midfielder was for his household rubbish to be taken to the top.
The recently retired Warriors great can be seen chasing the garbage truck up the street after missing his morning collection time by a few seconds.
He then chases the truck up the street with gusto – while dragging the bin – in an attempt to avoid a comparable domestic nightmare.
Johnson eventually caught up to the truck – and was relieved to see the contents end up in the council vehicle.
Low price Binz cheekily labeled Johnson, their “Trash Rookie of the Week” and stressed the importance of residents having their container ready to go on collection day at 7am.

Johnson was signed by the Warriors in 2009. and two years later played in the NRL grand final against the Manly Sea Eagles.
While premiership success eluded Johnson through 13 years and 267 games, his attacking brilliance made him a crowd favorite in New Zealand and among countless NRL fans.
He produced a notable performance against Cronula in September, making a 79th-minute wonder to earn a 30-28 victory in his final NRL appearance.
And Johnson’s next step is to create his own football academy.
“I’m passionate about helping younger players develop their game,” he said.
“I’m passionate about building a program to give them access to knowledge that I wish I had access to.

“I would appreciate some kind of mentor to give me an idea of what it takes to be a top-class midfielder.
“I’m going to look at the time, the space, the pace and the details of what it takes to be a top-class player every week, with pressure on your shoulders.”
Johnson also turned out for the Kiwis in 35 Tests in 2014 as well. was awarded the Golden Boot as the best player in the world.
