Ahead Quote by Andre Gray
“I wasn't putting my all into it and I was still managing to score goals, and that gave me something to dream about, and something to work hard for. So I ended up going to the gym on my days off, trying to be a step ahead of everyone. Then we played Luton and I did OK and they came in for me.”
