Harry Gregg

Gregg also played for Doncaster Rovers and Stoke City, as well as making 25 appearances for the Northern Ireland national team between 1954 and 1963, including at the 1958 FIFA World Cup.

While working as an apprentice joiner, he started his football career with Windsor Park Swifts, the reserve team of Linfield, before signing for his local club, Coleraine.

[4] Among others he helped were Vera Lukić, the pregnant wife of a Yugoslav diplomat and her two-year-old daughter, Vesna, as well as his badly injured manager, Matt Busby.

"[6] Gregg played in United's first match after the disaster, a FA Cup fifth round tie with Sheffield Wednesday.

[4] Gregg featured as Northern Ireland won 3–2 against England at Wembley in November 1957, and helped them qualify for the 1958 FIFA World Cup.

[4] Macari used a direct style of play, which Gregg disapproved of,[11] and they were both sacked by Swindon in April 1985 after the disagreement between the pair became public.

[12] During the 1986–87 season Gregg succeeded Stokoe as Carlisle manager,[4] but he was unable to prevent them from suffering relegation to the Fourth Division.

On the 50th anniversary of the air crash he appeared in the documentary One Life: Munich Air Disaster,[14] broadcast 6 February 2008 on the BBC, in which he returned to the scene of the crash and the hospital for the first time and also met Zoran Lukić, the son of Mrs Vera Lukić, a Serbian woman (the wife of a Yugoslav diplomat) who was pregnant with Zoran at the time of the disaster.

Gregg was portrayed by actor Ben Peel in a 2011 BBC film, United, which was centred around the Munich air disaster.

[21] Gregg's uncle was the grandfather of fellow footballer Steve Lomas, who played for clubs including Manchester City and West Ham United, and managed the likes of St Johnstone and Millwall.
