I didn’t think I would ever love a Wednesday number 9 as much as my avatar but then Greggers came along and nearly knocked Banno off. Yes Hirsty will always be the best but Gregory really have everything when he pulled on that shirt.
Lots of great memories- MK Dons away (the Bannan worldie game) when the “He’s our striker song was staring to get real purchase amongst the fans). Obviously the POF assist and his brilliant performance in the Peterborough home leg but I remember Portsmouth at home last game of the season we didn’t go up. He was unplayable - showed Hirst junior what a real centre forward does. Got as big a standing ovation when he was substituted as Incan remember. He walked off the pitch on the North Stand side then round in front of the Kop - 28,000 fans singing HIS song. That must have felt good
sorry it didn’t end so great (fwiw I think Röhl got it wrong that season not playing him) and once again a massive Chancer piece of negligence robbed Greggers of half a season of his career.
He may have been a blade (he wasn’t) who cares? Once an owl always an owl.
He was our striker our number nine…
Have a great retirement Lee
