Since 1986, Greig has appeared as H.G. Nelson alongside John Doyle as Rampaging Roy Slaven across radio and television, most famously on This Sporting Life, a weekend fixture on ABC’s Triple J for 22 years, followed by programs on Triple M and Macquarie Sports Radio. Together, they have created numerous television shows including Club Buggery, The Channel Nine Show, Win Roy and H.G.’s Money, The Dream, The Ice Dream, and many more.

In addition to his broadcasting career, Greig has authored books including H.G.’s Fair Dinkum! Aussie Slang and History of Australia through Sport, and continues to entertain audiences with his current radio program, Bludging on the Blindside with Roy and H.G on ABC Radio. With a career spanning over three decades, Greig’s unique blend of humour, insight, and deep knowledge of sport has made him a highly respected and iconic figure in Australian media.
