Harry Gregg, Manchester United and Munich hero, dies aged 87

Manchester United and Northern Ireland great, Harry Gregg, has died aged 87. The goalkeeper was a hero of the Munich air disaster, in which 23 people died and 16 survived. Gregg returned twice to the burning aircraft, rescuing United colleagues Bobby Charlton and Dennis Viollet. In 1957, Gregg became the world’s most expensive keeper at £23,000 when signing with United and Sir Matt Busby. He made 247 appearances for United, including a 3-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday played just 13 days after the Munich tragedy Subscribe to Guardian Football ► http://is.gd/GuardianFootball Harry Gregg, Manchester United and Northern Ireland great, dies aged 87 ► https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/feb/17/harry-gregg-manchester-united-and-northern-ireland-great-dies-aged-87 Support the Guardian ► https://support.theguardian.com/contribute The Guardian on YouTube: The Guardian ► http://www.youtube.com/theguardian Guardian Sport ► http://bit.ly/GDNsport Guardian News ► http://www.youtube.com/guardianwires Owen Jones talks ► http://bit.ly/subsowenjones Guardian Culture ► http://is.gd/guardianculture
