The word 'hero', like 'legend' is thrown around willy-nilly nowadays but this man, Harry Gregg, snuggly slips into both categories. Not only was he an excellent keeper, declared by FIFA as THE best in the world in 1958, but he had the courage, bravery and humility to think nothing of his own safety in order to save strangers and friends alike.
Raise a glass and remember, Harry Gregg MBE OBE.
