Harry Gregg was an outstanding club and international goalkeeper, but he will best be remembered for his bravery in the 1958 Munich air disaster.

The Northern Ireland player signed for Manchester United just two months before the tragedy, in which 23 people died.

Gregg is often referred to as the 'Hero of Munich' after pulling passengers free from the burning wreckage.

Two weeks later, Gregg kept a clean sheet as Manchester United put Sheffield Wednesday out of the FA Cup.

The goalkeeper was determined that the tragic event would not define his career, or indeed his life.
