Reg Gregory (born January 1, 1892) was a prominent English cricketer known for his exceptional all-round capabilities. He played primarily as a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler. Despite his relatively short career, he made a significant impact on the game during his tenure in domestic cricket.
Gregory debuted for Gloucestershire in 1910 and quickly established himself as a reliable player in the county setup. His performance peaked in the 1913 season, where he notched over 1,000 runs and took more than 50 wickets, showcasing his dual-threat abilities. He also earned national recognition, representing England in first-class matches, further cementing his status in the cricketing community before the disruptions caused by World War I.
After the war, Gregory returned to cricket but faced increasing competition and injuries that curtailed his playing opportunities. He retired from first-class cricket in the late 1920s, leaving a legacy as a skilled all-rounder in the domestic circuit. His contributions to Gloucestershire and the sport at large are remembered by cricket historians and enthusiasts as reflective of an era when cricket was evolving into the competitive sport known today.
