May Harry Rest In Peace, and lest we forget what he did.

We band the word legend out so often these days, but in the truest sense of the word Harry was one.

RIP Harry.

His contribution to our club and his immense bravery during the Munich disaster far surpasses anything one could do on the pitch. An absolute hero who we will forever be immensely thankful to!

Million times this. May he rest in peace.

"I'm Henry Gregg, 34 Windsor Avenue, who played football. Who was useful at it on good days and rubbish at it on bad days," he said in 2008.
"That's what I want to be remembered for - not something that happened on the spur of the moment."

Just seen this. RIP, few could have done what he did during the event and afterwards. A strong man and a hero to many.

A great for my country and a great for my club, but that pales in significance to the bravery of the man pulling out people from the plane wreck of Munich.

Hero on the pitch & even bigger hero off it.

Harry Gregg RIP

RIP. Well before my time, but after reading into the Munich disaster years ago and hearing what he did - what an incredible person. Sounds like a cracking goalkeeper too.

God bless you Harry.

RIP Harry - a true hero and by the judging from footage above, that save from Di Stefano - an outstanding goalkeeper too.

An actual hero of unimaginable proportions.

As fans of this club we owe so much to Harry’s actions, that cannot be overstated.

RIP Harry.
