Over the years, few rugby players have crossed the north-south divide. Only a handful have a reputation that breaks from the game's heartlands. Andy Gregory is one of them, with 26 Great Britain caps, and 23 winners medals in a domestic career that made him a hero at Widnes, Warrington and Wigan. Coaching glories followed before drink ruined his marriage. Here, Gregory, victim of an acrimonious split with Salford amid tales of being stabbed in the back by his assistants, tells the story of one of the most controversial careers in rugby league history, describing the trophies, tantrums, heroes and hangovers.
