Gregory.



If Greg had Edwards commitment, professionalism and work ethic, he would have been the best player in the world.

Held a sportsmans dinner 2 weeks ago with Brian noble as guest speaker.

We invited Andy Gregory along as believe it or not he played cricket for spring view when he was younger so he always helps us out where and when he can.

With his recent Hall of fame inclusion we decided we'd take the opportunity and I had the honour of Interviewing him.

He was his usual self and gave loads of compliments to players he's played with (lots of praise for Tony myler which I agree with as Brian noble said him and Greg were the best HB pairing he's come across).

I said a couple of words



My personal comment was that when my kids ask who's the best player you've ever seen its very subjective in lots of ways and there's lots of ways you could.look at that question. Ellery, Kenny, Edwards etc (of go Hanley if pushed).



But if you asked me if I could watch 1 player play 1 game again who would it be i'd pick Greg. When he was on it he was magical.



I also took a quote from an Aussie who when asked who was the best British player he'd come up against and said :-

"A certain little halfback! That little ! I admired Andy Gregory as much, if not more, than any other player because of the creativity that he boasted and the determination to cause defeat for Australia. He was also one of the toughest players that I ever played against."

That was from Wally Lewis!

Who am I to argue with that!

I think the original quote was rather more forthright than that from Wally Lewis, but the same sentiment.

Phil Blake was one of the best Ive seen, Edwards consummate professional was ahead of most British players the time. Barrett was good almost dragged us to Old trafford ill never forget Bradford away in the play offs

If anybody has not seen Gregory in action, watch the Wigan V Penrith WCC game on youtube. The pass he provides for Sam Panapa to score has Andy Gregory written all over it. Its just so typical of the brilliance he could come up with.

Totally agree. for me they were our best ever.

Sammut.

Hahaha beat me to it.

For god sake.

No. Gregory was the best IMO. As an opposition fan he was one of those players that used to genuinely frighten you to death. Most of Wigan's breaks came off his passes.

Kenny, Gregory, Edwards, Lam Barrett all top class you could throw Hanley in the mix because he was such a great player I believe he could have played most positions and added to any team.

Kenny was special not just for that season he played for us I would say he would now be played as a 1 I could only dream of watching 1.Kenny 6.Edwards 7.Gregory 13.Hanley

Tomkins also skims that list was magic at his injury free best.
