Publisher's Synopsis
Over the years, few rugby league players have crossed the north-south divide. Onlu a handful have a reputation that breaks from the game's heartlands. Andy Gregory is one of them. Mention Gregory and it conjures up images of a sublime talent, creating truly memorable tries, inspiring club and country to against-all-odds triumphs with chest puffed out and the cocky strut of a man who knows he's better than all the rest. Think George Best, think Alex Higgins, think Ian Botham. In rugby league you think Andy Gregory. With twenty-six caps, he is the man who inspired Great Britain to end a 15 game unbeaten run against Australia in the most famous contemporary Test in history. Twenty-three winners medals in a domestic career made him a hero at Widnes, Warrington and Wigan. Gregory also became the first man to win the coveted Lance Todd Trophy twice, as Wembley turned into his second home. Coaching glories followed as he led Salford Reds back from the disappointment at missing out on the Super League revolution and into the top flight, before it all turned bitter - and lager, Guiness and Vodka.
