Comment
Gregor was a terrier-like left sided defender, fully committed to every tackle and with a sledgehammer left foot shot chucked in a well.  Son of Norwich manager Bruce Rioch, he turned in good performances and bad performances in equal measure, sometimes simultaneously.  He went out of favour instantly once Warren Joyce took the helm and was soon sent Cheshire way before strutting his stuff around Salop meadows of gaiety.  A couple of years plying the non-League circuit saw him at Northwich Victoria, then back to Conference newcomers Shrewsbury under ex-Vics manager Jimmy Quinn, before returning to Northwich Victoria in March 2004.

Gregor entered the world of management in 2005, taking control of a middle ranking Danish league side.  In July 2006 he was appointed reserve team manager at Manchester City.  In July 2007, soon after the very un-Rioch-like Sven Goran Eriksson took over at Eastlands, Gregor was appointed Academy Manager at Coventry City, and post that he retained by March 2011 when City visited Coventry in the Championship.
