The Irish Football Association has opened a book of condolences in memory of the late Harry Gregg.

Members of the public can sign the book at the main reception at Windsor Park before it is presented to Harry's family ahead of his funeral on Friday.

The legendary former Northern Ireland and Manchester United goalkeeper passed away at the age of 87.

The Coleraine man is revered for his actions in saving lives in the immediate aftermath of the Munich Air Disaster in 1958, when a plane taking Manchester United home from a European Cup tie crashed shortly after an attempted take-off.
