In 1876, he also took part in trials organized by Kenrick to select Welsh players to represent their country in a match against Scotland.[2]The match was played at Hamilton Crescent, Partick, the home of the West of Scotland Cricket Club on 25 March 1876, with Grey playing on the right wing.[3] The Welsh were well defeated, conceding four goals without reply.[4]
In 1877, Grey, described as "a busy player and tremendous worker",[1] played (and scored) for Druids in the inaugural Welsh Cup tie,[5] contributing £15 to the FAW's fund to purchase a trophy.[1] Druids reached the final on 30 March 1878, losing 1–0 to local rivals Wrexham.[6]
Grey's second international appearance came a week before the Cup Final, on 23 March 1878, in a 6–0 defeat by Scotland at the original Hampden Park.[7]
Later career
Grey had retired from active playing by 1880, but continued to attend Druids and Wrexham matches as a spectator. In his medical capacity, he was often called upon to tend to injured players. In 1889, a Welsh Cup match between Wrexham and Westminster Rovers became particularly violent and Grey was called upon to lecture the players about their behaviour.[1]
Grey continued to live in Ruabon, where he died in February 1900 aged 51.[1][8]
