Paul Anthony McGregor (born 17 December 1974 in Liverpool) is a former English footballer.
A product of the youth system at Nottingham Forest, McGregor made a number of first team appearances, although he did not quite manage to cement a regular spot in the line-up. Despite this he made some impact on the first team and is well remembered by the club's supporters for scoring the winning goal in a match against Olympique Lyonnais in the UEFA Cup 1995-96, a goal which put Forest in the quarter-finals of the competition.[1] Whilst at the club McGregor also sang with Britpop band Merc, although the group did not have any success.[2]
Falling out of favour at Forest, McGregor spent spells on loan at Carlisle United and Preston North End before completing a permanent move to Plymouth Argyle in 1998. McGregor enjoyed a rich vein of form at Argyle and was the club's top scorer in the 1999-2000 season, hitting 16 goals in all competitions, including two hat-tricks.[3] His form earned him the Plymouth Argyle F.C. Player of the Year award for 2000. The following season, however, the goals dried up and he moved on a free to Northampton Town for a spell that was blighted by injury.[3] Making his final appearance for the Cobblers as a substitute in a 2-0 defeat to Oldham in March 2003, McGregor left the game at the end of the 2002-3 season.
