Gregory had everything, cocky, confident, strong quick line breaker, great passing and kicking game and a nasty little sod to boot absolutely loved him.
He was perfectly complemented by the guy outside him who in my opinion became a better player after Greg finished when he took on the bulk of the sides creativity. Best British club half back pair I have ever seen.

Dennis Moran...

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.

One thing is for sure we will never see the likes of these names again.

I loved watching Andy Gregory even when he was at Widnes he broke our hearts so many times.

I think we can all pick out players who had certain characteristics that defined them but Gregory was certainly very tough and a brilliant rugby brain.

I will always remember his performance in this game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udgV8TgKEB8

The silky skills of Kenny, the professionalism of Edwards and Trent Barrett was shear class, i would even say Mick Ford was a tough kid at the time and very rarely put a foot wrong especially at Wembley in 85.

Great times, great players who had talent, toughness and where picked for the right reasons and not because they ticked boxes of height, weight and how much they could bench press etc

I recall being in a pub in Milnrow (outside Rochdale) in a Robinsons house IIRC. They were having a delivery. One of the dreyman looked very familiar to my Dad and I. It was Stevie Hampson delivering the beer barrels !

That was the 'weights' that he trained on. icon_lol.gif
