Harry Gregg: A look back on the goalkeeping legend's life in photos

The world of football is in mourning following the death of Harry Gregg OBE.

The Northern Ireland and Manchester United legend has passed away, aged 87.

One of the famed Busby Babes at United, Harry played 247 times for the Old Trafford club between 1957 and 1966.

He will be remembered for his heroism during the 1958 Munich Air Disaster when a plane carrying the Manchester United team crashed in heavy snow after several aborted take-offs.

 

Harry also starred for Northern Ireland at the 1958 World Cup finals in Sweden when a team captained by Danny Blanchflower reached the quarter-finals of the competition.
