Munich Survivor & Hero of Munich for going back into the burning wreckage of the areoplane and pulled out survivors, including a Mother and her Baby.
His football career was not too shabby either.
Rest in Peace Harry

Harry Gregg is something of a hero here in Northern Ireland. Like Buddy Holly a year later, the 1958 Munich Air Disaster, whether you like United or not, has become the day that football died.

I seem to recall, George Best, in an autobiography, saying to the effect that "you wouldn't want to mess with big Harry Gregg, the goalkeeper. Harry was not what you would call a mild-tempered man".
R.I.P. Harry Gregg.

I popped into Coleraine town hall today and signed Harry’s Book of Condolence. I wrote this:
‘Harry saved goals but he also saved lives. RIP.’
