Runningman   142 #5 Posted February 17, 2020 Saw Harry Gregg play for Donny Rovers at Donny before his transfer to Man U. Also saw him play at the Bramall Lane in Jimmy Hagan's testimonial game.  What a hero in the time after that plane crash !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

abbeyedges   82 #8 Posted February 17, 2020 The programme for that match showed all the 11 players who were playing for Wednesday.  The Manchester United team showed numbers 1 - 11 and then eleven spaces as they didn't know which players would be available.  Difficult game for Wednesday to be involved in. The whole world were rooting for Man Utd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
ALAN 58   10 #9 Posted February 17, 2020 R. I. P Harry, l was privileged to see him a couple of times and often wonder would we have scored seven that cold night in Feb 1961 if Harry had played. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I recall Harry Catterick wrting a letter -it was in the Star- to the young goalie to cheer him up. Also: is Bobby Charlton the last one living from the players that survived the crash ?
