Biography
Adam Loftus Armstrong (13 April 1878 – 30 January 1959) was a New Zealand rugby union player. A wing-forward, Armstrong represented Wairarapa at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, in 1903. He played five matches for the All Blacks but did not appear in any internationals. After retiring as a player, Armstrong went on to referee to provincial level.
Following the death of Donald Watson in 1958, Armstrong held the distinction of being the oldest living All Black.
