Biography
William Greggan was one of the lightest members of the Liverpool Police 1908 Olympic tug-of-war team at just over 14 stone (89 kg). Born in Scotland, Greggan won a silver medal after the Liverpool team lost 2-0 to City of London Police in the final. However, he and his teammates were involved in a bitter dispute about their footwear in their opening match against the United States, which resulted in the Americans withdrawing from the competition.
