Subject: Harry Gregg: Munich air disaster hero and Northern Ireland goalkeeper great dies
Written By: Philip Eno on 02/18/20 at 6:49 am
Former Manchester United and Northern Ireland goalkeeper Harry Gregg, hailed as a hero of the 1958 Munich air disaster, has died at the age of 87. Gregg bravely rescued team-mates and other passengers following the plane crash in which 23 were killed. When he joined United in December 1957 for £23,500 he was the world's most expensive goalkeeper and was voted the best at the following year's World Cup. He made 25 appearances for Northern Ireland between 1954 and 1963.
