Career

Born in Liverpool, Gregoire was educated at St Bede's Grammar School in Bradford.[2][3][4] He began his career with Halifax Town, making five league appearances in the 1977–78 season.[5] Gregoire moved to Sunderland for £5,000 in January 1978, becoming the first black player to play for them.[6][7] Whilst playing for Halifax reserves, Gregoire scored a hat-trick against Sunderland reserves to prompt Sunderland manager Jimmy Adamson into signing him.[8] He made his debut for Sunderland against Hull City due to injuries to other first team strikers.[8] Gregoire spent two seasons with Sunderland — scoring one goal in nine league appearances — before retiring in 1980 due to injury.[9][10]
