From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andrew Gregory (born Wigan) is a former Rugby League footballer.

Born in Wigan and having played junior rugby league in the town, Gregory played for Widnes and Warrington before signing for Wigan in 1986 for a reported £130,000. He played a big part in the inaugural World Club Challenge win over Manly in 1987 and although he was only small in height he dominated games on the field from scrum half. Gregory won 26 Great Britain caps and the Lance Todd Trophy twice for match winning displays in the Challenge Cup final in 1988 and 1990. Andy was transferred to Leeds in 1992 and finished his playing days as player-coach at Salford in 1995. After some initial success, Gregory left Salford by mutual consent in May 1999 to concentrate on his pub business in Wigan. In 2006 Gregory was appointed as coaching coordinator at National League Club Leigh.
