I first met John Gray as a young child, when I saw him practicing his goal kicking one evening at Manly Oval. That was before he became known as a first grade Rugby League player in Australia. It was the first time I had seen a goal kicker place the ball vertically and he was landing goals from all angles. I asked him why he kicks in that way, and he simply replied that it was the method he grew up with. I think he was referring to his days back in England. He was a nice bloke to give a young primary school kid like me, the time of day.
