    He plays for Bray now. Well he spent more than half the season out injured but still shows his quality when he plays- If he were'nt so injury prone he'd be somewhre better I think.

    he was with City as a commercial manager for a short time, but devo convienced him to come back and play for Bray. As a part of his insurance payout he is never allowed to play full time professional football again so Bray suited him down to the ground being part time.

    Grogan is the most injury prone player ive ever seen, but in saying that he is also one of the most skillful players ive ever seen, really hope bray can keep a hold of him and that he stays a bit more injury free as well.

    Remember when he was at United and he had some disease (can't remember the name) but ut was where the growth of his muscles didn't keep up with the growth of his body.
    Good player but Ireland's answer to Darren Anderthon when it comes to injuries!!!!

    Never heard of a growth disease, but know he has had serious problems with his hips, knees and hamstrings

    Sounds strange alright but I remember reading about it when he joined UCD on loan from Manu.
    He's a strange bloke! Ever see the way he blinks all the time!! Was known as Reggie Blinker at United!!

    Grogan has a problem with his hip which forced him to leave both United and finally Millwall. He will always be prone to this injury. Richard Sadlier had the same injury.
    Always look on the bright side of life

    The injury was caused by too much hard training when he was young apparently. I think it resulted in his pelvis bone ending up being heavily eroded or something like that.

    Other way around. Scholes had it when he was young too, but seems to have recovered. Schumi is right - he's got some problem with bone erosion now. Overtraining at a young age: welcome to commercial football at the highest level.
