Career
Born in Liverpool, Gregoire began his career with Halifax Town, making five league appearances in the 1977-78 season.[1] Gregoire moved to Sunderland for £5,000 in January 1978, becoming the first black player to play for them.[2][3] Whilst playing for Halifax reserves, Gregoire scored a hat-trick against Sunderland reserves to prompt Sunderland manager Jimmy Adamson into signing him.[4] He made his debut for Sunderland against Hull City due to injuries to other first team strikers.[4] Gregoire spent two seasons with Sunderland — scoring one goal in nine league appearances — before retiring in 1980 due to injury.[5][6]
