I didn’t know about him before today. What a hero, going back into the burning plane to rescue people.

I'm a Spurs fan, but regardless, I know a bona fide hero when I see one. Rest easy big man.

I was going to post this yesterday but I thought i'd leave it to our resident Man Utd fan, Arksided. He must be otherwise engaged. Yes, Harry Gregg was a hero on and off the pitch, by all accounts. And a very unassuming person. RIP Harry Gregg.

A brave man & by all accounts (I never saw him) a superb keeper.

RIP Harry.

Glad someone posted this. In an age when the word hero is misused, we have lost a man who was a true hero. He played for my home club and I remember as a lad watching him play. R.I.P. Harry Gregg.
