Ken Gray (All Black)

Ken Gray (All Black)

Ken Gray (1938 - 1992) was a sheep farmer from Porirua, New Zealand. He represented New Zealand in Rugby, playing lock and later prop forward. He could play on either side of a scrum. In 1970, he refused to tour South Africa in protest at its policy of apartheid and resigned from the game. He was a Porirua City Councillor. He died unexpectedly of a heart attack (as did his brother Jim Gray) in 1992.

The Petone Rugby Club, where he played, commemorates him with the Ken Gray Academy. The Ken Gray Education Centre was established in a converted shearing shed on the Battle Hill Forest Farm, near the Gray family farm, Pauatahanui Inlet, after his death.
