THat's a biggie
Munich survivor
Just reading that nowMunich hero, went back into the plane didn't he?
Harry didn't like the attention his bravery brought.
he firmly believed it was a no brainer to the risk his life to
save his teamates, manager, a pregnant women and her baby daughter.
23 people, many his team mates, died. he could never accept the
praise after.
unfortunately Harry had the misfortune to be injured when Man Utd
were in cup finals or winning the league
apparently Bobby Charlton was a much more open person until
Munich but when his friends died that part of Bobby went.

Harry Gregg: Former Manchester United and Northern Ireland goalkeeper dies aged 87
Harry Gregg - Wikipedia
several documentaries featuring Harry:
Munich remembered (Granada 30th anniversary documentary)
BBC 50th anniversary documentary (2008)
in 1983 Vesna Lukic and her mother travelled to UK to meet Harry
who saved their lives at Munich.
also one of the later documentaries he met the Lukic family in Serbia.
only a few months after Munich Norn Iron reached the last 8 of the
1958 World Cup in Sweden.
Harry Gregg was named best goalkeeper of the tournament.
first N.I. had knocked out Italy in the qualifiers.
Harry made a string of important saves in the win 1-0 over the
Czechoslovakians. (injured, he missed the second more famous
play off win for second place in the group over Czechoslovakia
9 days later),
Norn Iron were brilliant at upsetting West Germany over the years
(then 1954 World Champs and semi finalists in 1958) but.... the
2-2 draw in their third group match in Sweden isn't on you tube.
finally i'd say looking for footage of him playing for Man Utd.
brought home to me how lumbered he was with the legacy of
Munich. huge amount of material related to the disaster and an
absence of footage of him playing
That was an urban legend that had some legs, before the internet anywaysAnd when someone mentioned baby, I wondered if it was John Lukic.
ah, I stand corrected so. I thought it was true.That was an urban legend that had some legs, before the internet anyways
Which member of the '89 Arsenal league-winning squad was on the Munich plane?
And then some smart arse would tell you his mom was pregnant when the plane crashed
All we had really were books back then and if you looked up the lady's name, it checked out
This is a bit of a shock
Didn't know this was hisGenuine downer since I heard.
ah, I stand corrected so. I thought it was true.
Didn't know this was his
Absolute sticky anthem
This is a bit of a shock
This has really affected me, I learned so much from him over the years, and only saw him again recently. Such a huge part of educating me about music... so upsetting.
Mad that someone had to invent that, fair play. A world affecting invention in its own way.
