When did you start collecting Groggs?

I started collecting them when I was about 14.

What were the first 3 Groggs you owned and why in particular did you pick these?

My first 3 Groggs were:

Scott Quinnell

Phil Bennett

Jonathan Davies

I picked these because I used to play at number 8 and Scott was playing there at the time. Phil was a legend and I loved watching Jiffy play league and union.

Do you still own these Groggs and if not why?
Yes still got them.

What Groggs do you try to collect now?
I haven't had a Grogg for a while now but am planning on starting back up soon.

How many Groggs do you own?
I own 39 Groggs.

What's your favourite Grogg and why?
My fave is Nigel Bazani holding the cup because I was a huge Ponty fan and was there on the day they won that game.

Are there any Groggs you regret selling if so why?
I would never sell any of my Groggs, most of them are signed by the players themselves

Who would you love to see Grogged?

I really would love to have zinzan brooke as a Grogg he was my childhood hero I meet him last week and was gutted that I didnt have one of him to sign for me.
