Collector Profile - Louise Timmons


Age: 48
 
Location: Grays, Essex (Originally from Aberystwyth)

When and how did you start collecting Groggs? How did you come to hear about the Groggshop?
I honestly can’t remember, someone in my family must have owned one!

What were the first 3 Groggs you owned and why in particular did you pick these?
Mark Hughes, always loved him as a player
Scott Gibbs, because of his try against England at Wembley!
Can’t remember my third

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

What Groggs do you try to collect now?
A mixture really, some Welsh footballers, current and ex Welsh rugby players

How many Groggs do you own? 
36 in total, 17 large, large Ponty front row, small Welsh front row and 17 mini ones

What's your favourite Grogg and why?
The original Pontypool front row! Met Bobby Windsor at Butlin Barry Island back in about 1973/74 and been a huge fan of his and the front row since.

Are there any Groggs you regret selling if so why?
I haven’t sold any!

Who would you love to see Grogged and why?
As all of my Welsh favourites have been Grogged, I would say as a Chelsea fan I would have liked Frank Lampard Grogged as he was a legend for the club.
