Gregg Botterman (born 3 March 1968) is a former rugby union hooker for premiership team Saracens, as well as London Welsh and Old Albanians.
He acted as the first-choice hooker during Saracens' entry into professionalism and played as Saracens won the Tetley's bitter cup. As a Saracens youth player, he received particular notes for playing against Orrell R.U.F.C. despite multiple broken ribs.[2]
Botterman finished his professional rugby career in 2004, but remained involved in rugby with a 9-year stint as both player and part-time coach with Old Albanians. This stint would also include a game with the Barbarians against East Midlands, coming on as a replacement during a 48-17 victory.[3]
His niece, Hannah Botterman is a Bristol and England prop, starting for both Saracens and England aged 18 after being introduced to rugby aged 4 by her uncle and aunt (Jane Everett - also an English prop).[4]
In June 2022, Botterman rowed 1200 km (745 mi) across the Black Sea with teammates Danny Longman, Alex Dumbrava and Roland Burr.[5] The 4-man crew rowed from Mangalia, Romania to Batumi, Georgia.[6] The crew set a new world record for the fastest crossing of the Black Sea, with a time of 9 days, 18 hours and 5 minutes[7]
