Your story of Gregan reminds me of a former American Football (you know - 'real' football :-) player named Earl Campbell. This guy was so strong he could carry the ball and three defensive players at least 5 yards a play, no matter what. He was almost unstoppable! But after each play, as the defenders unpiled, Earl would remain lying there for a few seconds before slowly getting up. It used to give the fans heart attacks thinking he was hurt, but that was just his way. For each and every play, he gave 110%, then rested a few seconds and did it all over again - a series of small goals that often accomplished the big one of scoring.
