RIP Harry.
He said the Munich Ceremony this year was the last one he was going to attend. So sad.

Sums it up perfectly.Rest in peace Harry. A great keeper but what he did at Munich surpassed anything a player could achieve on a football pitch.
A true hero and legendary figure.

I remember that match too. It was my first ever time at Old Trafford, as an 8 year old. Real guts from Harry to help the team. Pity the Scousers won 1-0. RIP Harry.
Off to see his old mates just a few days after the anniversary of the crash.
My first United hero. Once my old fella told me about his heroics in Munich, I bought a “star badge” of Harry on the forecourt.
Remember the day after JFK copped it, United vs Dippers at OT. He broke his collarbone after Ron Yeats barged into him (must’ve been inspired by the Lofthouse barge) Harry had to go off and sit on the bench. Until... he couldn’t sit there any longer watching the lads coping with just 10 men. David Herd had taken his spot in nets and left his own no.9 jersey on the bench. Harry put it on and re-appeared on the pitch playing down the right wing, arm in a sling. No permission from Busby, no checks with the linesman etc... on he went. Mad bastard. Loved him.
voted best keeper in the world after the ‘58 World Cup.
rip Harry, lad.
