    Survived a plane crash, the trauma of losing his team mates and colleagues, helped save the lives in the process and then played for the club 13 days later.

    RIP

    I watched BBC news this morning and have to say it made me cry. He was a true hero.

    Paul Pogba shows off his new hair cut with Harry Who? shaved into the sides, via his Instagram page, while Adidas pay him to do so.

    I think this is one of the best quotes from this sad day -

    "When people would always bring up Munich, his answer would always be the same: 'I only did what any other man would have done'.

    "Of course, we know that's not true. He was exceptional. The very word legend, it doesn't come close in this instance."

    I'd like to think Lingard would at least know who Harry Gregg is.

    Pogba, not a ****ing chance

    Just watching the highlights from the Watford game. Yesterday at the match must’ve been tough for Sir Bobby C. It’s well known that he lives with survivors’ guilt and Harry Greg was the man who saved his life. RIP Harry. What a legend.
