Manchester United great Harry Gregg wanted to be remembered as a footballer, not the hero of the Munich air crash, mourners at his funeral have heard. Fellow United stars Sir Alex Ferguson and Denis Law also attended the service in Gregg’s hometown of Coleraine in Northern Ireland. “He was called the hero of Munich, but he always wanted to be remembered simply as a footballer and a coach of some repute. Gregg became the world’s most expensive goalkeeper when Sir Matt Busby’s United paid Doncaster £23,000 in 1957. Remembering an #MUFC legend ❤️ Sir Bobby Charlton, Sir Alex Ferguson and Denis Law were among those who attended Harry Gregg's funeral in Coleraine today.
