Harry Gregg 1932-2020

I had the pleasure of meeting Harry on many occasions and I recall visiting his home one evening in late 2011, when I asked him if I could have his permission to write to Manchester United and ask the club to send over a team to play a Northern Ireland XI in a testimonial game. I was unaware that Harry had not previously been given a testimonial, despite having spent ten seasons at Old Trafford, until his son, John, told me at the 20th anniversary dinner for Carryduff Manchester United Supporters Club in the Europa Hotel, Belfast on 22 March 2011.
