Henry Richard "Harry" Cripps (29 April 1941 – 29 December 1995) was an English professional footballer who played for South East London side Millwall for the majority of his career, becoming a cult figure in the process.
Initially on the books of Millwall's bitter rivals West Ham United, he was a member of the FA Youth Cup Final team of 1958–59 alongside Bobby Moore, Eddie Bovington and Jack Burkett.
He rapidly became a fan favourite due to his bustling, combative performances at full back, always looking to get forward and score goals, and becoming renowned as a fearless tackler.
[citation needed] This period saw the club return to Division Two after a lengthy absence, under the guidance of Manager Billy Gray and later, Benny Fenton.
He was also a key part of what was perhaps Millwall's greatest ever side that narrowly missed out on promotion to the old Division One by just one point, during the 1971–72 season, that also included the likes of Barry Kitchener, Keith Weller and Eamon Dunphy.
