| Truly a great Rugby League forward. I remember his time at Leeds where he literally limped around the paddock on 1 leg. However, he was better on 1 leg than many of our forwards in the 80’s on 2. Adapted his game to be more of a ball player.
How he carried on so long, I’ve no idea but think only 3 men have played more games in RL history, Jim Sullivan, Gus Risman & Neil Fox. Although Fox played second row when he got older, all were backs.
So Grayshon is probably the most durable forward ever and he was a fine one in his pomp.
David Ward told me once that Grayshon was in tears after Leeds lost the Challenge up semi v Hull KR in 1986 because his dream of playing in a cup final at Wembley had gone.
RIP to a true RL great

| A true giant in every sense of the word.
What a man he was! In his pomp he bestrode the game like a colossus, standing upright whilst four or five defenders tried (and usually failed) to either put him to ground or prevent him offloading. Best prop I've ever seen was Big Jeff, some have come close but Jeff was imperious. RL is a sadder place for his passing.
Rest in peace Jeff Grayshon.
