When did you start collecting/buy your
first piece?
I started collection in 1996
after moving up to the valleys from Cardiff when I started supporting
Pontypridd RFC, which of course is also the home of the Grogg shop
What
were the first 3 Groggs you owned and why in particular did you pick these?
First was a clay Chief in a
Ponty kit (now also signed) quickly followed by the legendary half backs Neil
Jenkins and Paul John both in Wales strip
Do you still own these Groggs and if not
why?
Yes, I still have these Groggs
What Groggs do you try to collect now or
would you like to collect going forward?
Due to costs I now focus on
welsh minis, but will save for a special when it is a must have, the last being
Aaron Ramsey in a Cardiff City shirt (also signed) I like where possible to get
them signed as I believe it enhances personal value and it’s nice to see
players surprised to be asked.
How many Groggs do you own?
54
What's your favourite Grogg and why?
Sorry but I have 2, my first Grogg
of Chief as he epitomised everything I believe in the true values of valley
rugby which he has carried on into his coaching career with the Blues, the
other is my Francois Pienaar from 1999, his reputation speaks for itself in
world rugby and I had the pleasure of meeting him at a book signing so he also
signed my Grogg.
Are there any Groggs you regret selling and if so why?
Have never thought of selling
any
Who
would you love to see Grogged and why?
It would have to be Welsh boxer
