How did you manage to speak to him, have you met him?. I really hope he gets better soon but this looks worrying. Greg was one of the best Heavies in the 80s and another who never really fulfilled his true potential sadly, which I'm sure had a lot to do with how he was treated by King!.overhand_right wrote:Damn.. Ive spoke with Greg several times and found him to be witty & friendly fella. His physical condtion is very bad & makes him susceptible to this kind of thing. I hope he can get fitter & stronger so he can start to improve & recover.
