Gregory passes away aged 43
Former Great Britain captain Mike Gregory has died aged 43 after a four-year battle with a neurological disease. The Wigan-born former Warrington loose forward, who was confined to a wheelchair for the last 12 months of his life, lost consciousness last night and passed away today.
The illness was traced back to an insect bite while on tour of Australia with the Great Britain academy team in 2003. It is thought the bite caused Gregory to develop progressive muscular atrophy, a form of motor neurone disease.
He spent the last three years battling the illness and won many new admirers for his courage in adversity.
