When and how did you
start collecting Groggs?
I originally
started buying Groggs in 1996 but at that point not really collecting that
started in 2012
What were the first 3 Groggs you owned and
why did you pick these in particular?
Baz with Swalec Cup
1996 Pontypridd kit
Neil Jenkins with
League trophy 1997 Pontypridd kit
9” Neil Jenkins in
a Wales kit
I went for these
Groggs as I am a massive Ponty fan
Do you still own
these Groggs?
No. In 2005 my
youngest son was born and he has Down Syndrome I spent a lot of time off work
in his first few month of life and I needed some cash quick, so I sold the Groggs.
What Groggs do you
collect now?
I collect the Pontypridd
minis and have started collecting the Wales 1999 minis but I will buy anything
that I like, some Wales 9”, Grand slam Sam, Better than a slam, Recall of 99
How many Groggs do
you currently own?
About 75 at the
moment but there are some personalised Groggs in that lot e.g. Wedding bride
and groom bears, sheep with messages on etc
What is your
favourite Grogg?
Two different ones,
for different reasons. The Most Capped Gethin Jenkins, it is just an amazing
piece of art and also Grand Slam Sam, which not only commemorates the Grand
Slam but also the amazing family day we had at the Wales v France game. so
makes the Grogg even more special.
Are there any Groggs
you regret selling?
The first three
that I bought, at the time of selling I never realised how special they were
and regret it every time I see my friends Facebook page because he makes a huge
point of showing them off.
Who would you love to
see Grogged?
My cousin and her
husband (Nyree & Sascha Kindred ) are Paralympic swimmers and over the last
18 year have had some amazing success, at Paralympic and world championships.
Now for some photos
