John Gregg (UDA)
John Gregg (1957 – 1 February 2003) was a senior member of the UDA/UFF loyalist paramilitary organisation in Northern Ireland. In 1984, Gregg seriously wounded Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams in an assassination attempt. From the 1990s until his shooting death in 2003 by rival associates, Gregg served as brigadier of the UDA's South East Antrim Brigade. Widely known as a man with a fearsome reputation, Gregg was considered a "hawk" in loyalist circles.
Early life
Gregg was born in 1957 and raised in a Protestant family from the Tigers Bay area of North Belfast. Gregg when explaining his family background, revealed that his father, regarded as a quiet man, had trust in the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) and British Army but joined the loyalist vigilante groups set up around the start of the Troubles ostensibly to protect the Protestant community from attacks by republicans. His own earliest memory of the Troubles was the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association marches in Derry, a movement to which Gregg and his family were strongly opposed.

Famous quotes by John Gregg:
B.B. King Was Wrong
(Chorus)
B.B. King was wrong the thrill it isn't gone
The thrill it is here it is now it is strong
The thrill it isn't gone
That means B.B.King was wrong
Now I'm not gonna be the one to tell him
No I'm not gonna be around
I'm living happily just my baby and me
Since my baby put the B.B. down
And it's not the way you hear him tell it
Cause she never did nobody wrong
I have no blues today cause he drove her my way
Just so he could put it in a song
(Chorus)
Oh the man can really play like no one else sir
And man he's got a lot of soul
But if he loved his women liked he loves Lucille
They would never leave the man alone
