Harry Gregg in goal for Man Utd

Harry Gregg who joined Manchester United in 1957 from Doncaster Rovers became the costliest goalkeeper for £23,000 at that time. Just four months after the Munich disaster that claimed lives of the Busby Babes, Gregg played for Northern Ireland at the FIFA World Cup in Sweden. He was taken by land and sea and was voted goalkeeper of the tournament, ahead of Russia’s Lev Yashin.

DID YOU KNOW THE ONLY GOALKEEPER TO HAVE WON THE BALLON D'OR FOR EUROPEAN FOOTBALLER OF THE YEAR?

Dynamo Moscow and Russia's shot stopper, Lev Yashin is the first and only goalkeeper to have won the Ballon d'Or Award in 1963 beating the likes of Gianni Rivera of AC Milan and Italy and Jimmy Greaves of Tottenham Hotspur and England to the prestigious statuette. He was nicknamed as "The Black Spider" because he famously wore a distinctive all-black outfit and it seemed as though he had eight arms to save almost everything.
