But Gregg still questions whether he did enough to help people that afternoon and admits he will never have true closure.

"I know my dad still questions what he did or didn't do, 50 years on," said his son, John. "He has said 'Did I stay long enough, did I do enough?' But Gregg is still adamant he is no hero.

He said: "I will never get closer until my day is up but I have exorcised some ghosts. It was very important to me to meet the Red Star Belgrade players again all this time later and go and meet Vera Lukic and her son. I was a goalkeeper and later a coach. I'm not looking for medals for what happened and I want to be remembered for what I did on the pitch, not something I did in the spare of the moment."

THERE will be a minute's silence for those who died in the disaster before the Republic's friendly with Brazil at Croke Park and Northern Ireland's home game against Bulgaria on Wednesday.

RE-UNITED is on BBC One Northern Ireland tomorrow at 10.35pm. Stephen Watson will also present a series of special reports from Old Trafford on the Munich Air Disaster on BBC Newsline at 6.30pm on BBC One Northern Ireland from Monday to Thursday.

HARRY Gregg is also featured in a new BBC Radio Ulster documentary, Munich Remembered, today at 3pm.
