Munich hero Harry Gregg is to return to Manchester United for the first time in almost a decade for next week's 60th anniversary of the disaster.

Gregg, 85, is one of only two living survivors of the crash. The other is current United ambassador Sir Bobby Charlton.

The former United goalkeeper lives near Coleraine in his native Northern Ireland but will make the journey for a memorial service at Old Trafford next Tuesday.

The former Northern Ireland international was a hero the night the plane, bringing Sir Matt Busby's team home from a European Cup tie in Belgrade, crashed after a refuelling stop in Munich on February 6, 1958.

Gregg escaped from the wreckage but returned to drag Dennis Viollet and Charlton free.

He also saved the lives of Czech passenger Verena Lukic and her baby, Vesna.

He returned to action 13 days later, although was subsequently diagnosed with a fractured skull.
