Greg Smith (born 18 January 1973), is a former American athlete who is famous for playing a single game for the Newcastle Knights in Australia's National Rugby League in 1999.

Playing career

Smith made his one and only appearance for Newcastle against Canterbury in Round 3 1999.

Smith is known in rugby league folklore as having one of the worst debuts in the modern game. During the match, Smith dropped the ball multiple times, missed tackles and let in 2 tries as Canterbury came back from a 24-4 scoreline to win 28-4.

In the aftermath of the game it was revealed that Smith had told Newcastle he had played for the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL. Subsequent investigations allegedly exposed that claim as untrue.[2][3][4][5][6]

Smith went on to play a season of Metropolitan Cup with Wests before returning to the United States to play in the AMNRL.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}
