Harry Gregg arrived at Old Trafford bearing the tag of "The World's Most Expensive Goalkeeper", but didn't let that label affect him in any way. He simply got on with the job of making his penalty area his own personal territory.

In stark contrast to United's previous first choice Number One, Gregg is totally dominant in the air. Any cross that comes his way, he is determined to make his - sometimes with the result of sending his own defenders sprawling. But once Gregg commits himself to getting a ball, he usually succeeds, and is then immediately looking for a way to start United back on the attack.
