John Gregory - Title Winner

[darren woolley]

Well done Boss I'm pleased for him.

[Risso]

Excellent news, still very fond of Mr G.

[Dave]

Good man, Grecian.
Hadn't struck me before but he played and managed us, QPR and Derby. Are there any other people who have both played and managed for three or more of the same clubs?

Technically Plymouth as well, so four.

[Toronto Villa]

He started his managerial career at Portsmouth. Meaningless point and trivia but the he Chennaiyin club colours and badge shares some similarities with the Portsmouth badge.

Never think of anything but positives when JG was with us as both coach and Manager. Always felt he was badly let down by Collymore  at the time.

[Simon Page]

I don't blame Gregory for this, but it was during his spell I started to really dislike the Premier League. I was hardly a fan before, but it was then it became apparent to me we weren't going to compete at the very top. Still, he scored twice in my first ever Villa game so that'll always be my abiding memory of him. Glad he's won a pot.

Happy for the bloke.
Still says we when talking about the Villa.

[Big Dick Edwards]

I liked John Gregory. He had a real enthusiasm for the role and seemed genuinely chuffed to be Villa manager.

[SoccerHQ]

He is looking old these days isnt he, them 4 years at the helm for us must have took its toll.

He had a heart bypass when he left Crawley in 2014.

He is in his 60s now.

[brian green]

He always wore very good shoes as I recall. Tony Xia please note.

[SirSteveUK]

He actually looks like the head of an upper-class Indian family from a Bollywood blockbuster (albeit a somewhat paler version) - he is even wearing Indian type garb too.

Love the man

[ChicagoLion]

Love it, if only he had been a bit more adventurous in the Final.

[Louzie0]

Wonderful achievement, isn’t it? 

The first and the best!

Incredibly well done, John Gregory.
UTV and Up Chennai FC!
