[Football] RIP Harry Gregg "Hero of Munich"

[marlowe]

For a football forum which likes its RIP threads I'm surprised the passing of Harry Gregg went by without a mention.

The death of a former player on a football forum is always worthy of acknowledgment but his heroism during the Munich air crash means we have another very good reason to remember him beyond everything he did on the pitch.

I agree. He was also let down by VAR for that 1958 Lofthouse goal in the cup final.

Brave man to return to a smouldering air crash to save other,s. Respect.
