For those of you in the UK and maybe beyond who follow Rugby League, former Wigan Warriors coach and a man known and loved all around our town, Mike Gregory, has passed away today.

Mike was suffering from Progressive Muscular Atrophy, a form of Motor Neurone Disease affecting his nerves and muscles which he had possibly contracted as early as 2001. It has eventually been his downfall today. He coached Wigan between 2003 and 2005, and his illness is what forced him to step down.

He played for Warrington Wolves for all of his proffesional career, and also captained Great Britain during his playing career.

He also coached Swinton Lions in between 1998 and 2001.

Mike was Wigan born and bred, and he was well known throughout our town. I've met him a couple of times; my Mum knew him because he knew her from school (He was a few years above her though), and he regularly dropped in to a bar where she used to work, so I met him there quite a bit.

R.I.P Michael Keith Gregory, 20 May 1964 – 19 November 2007.

Well, I've got a bit of impetigo, so I've been off school today and I attended the funeral.

The church was packed a hell, so I doubt you'll see me on Sky Sports news later, as the camera's where there. Many Rugby greats made speeches and it was a very nice service. There where hundreds there.

R.I.P Mike, you'll be missed.
