Harry Gregg , Busby Babe , Rest in peace

Never really recovered mentally from the Munich air disaster

Passed away today

Absolute hero of a man , he walked back into that aircraft to rescue people, unbelievably was in the team that Sheffield Wednesday just 13 days after the Munich tragedy alongside another giant Bill Foulkes , imagine some of today's snow flakes doing that

On the news earlier he suffered for years after, riddled with guilt him surviving while others did not.

Absolute hero. RIP

I think sometimes people do things instinctively then suffer the consequences of fear and anxiety and flashbacks later on

You could have paid tribute to a great man without the necessity of the crap last line generalising a whole generation.

What a legend. Rest in peace Harry.

I remember reading that he was absolutely fearless when it came to diving at a forward's feet - maybe it was a consequence of what happened to him in the Munich air crash? Either way, a very brave man.

RIP.

The majority of footballers, by the very fact that they’ve made it in a cutthroat game, are tough as old boots, wouldn’t have thought there are many snowflakes. Harry Gregg was cut from the same cloth, one of the game’s giants, RIP.

Not often can a footballer be called a hero,but he was. RIP

I had the pleasure of meeting him and his family, along with being coached by him as a kid. Put the fear of god in to me as he was a giant of a man. If I ever dare to put my hands on my hips playing football now I immediately move them remembering Harry shouting “ you’re not a bloody teapot”!
