Former Doncaster Rovers goalkeeper Harry Gregg, who survived the 1958 Munich air crash when he was playing for Manchester United, has died aged 87.
Gregg was often referred to as the "Hero of Munich" after pulling passengers free from the burning wreckage.
The Northern Irishman had signed for United just two months before the tragedy, in which 23 people died.
"Harry passed away peacefully in hospital surrounded by his loving family," his foundation said.
Gregg was a member of Sir Matt Busby's team of talented young players, who were nicknamed the Busby Babes.
He was signed by United from Doncaster Rovers in December 1957 for £23,000 - a then world record fee for a goalkeeper.

Trains won't be stopping at Rotherham station today as the track there is currently completely submerged under floodwater.
Heavy rainfall from yesterday is the cause of the problem after Storm Dennis hit the UK at the weekend.
Pumps are now being used to move water away from the railway, according to Network Rail.
But before the line can reopen a full inspection needs to take place, which could include moving ballast and repairing trackside equipment.
A replacement bus service is in operation from Meadowhall and Swinton, Network Rail added.
Passengers are being urged to check their journey before they travel.
Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward after an alleged hammer attack in Hull earlier this month which left a man with a fractured skill.
The victim was attacked by a group of people outside Lennys Bar on Holderness Road at about 21:40 on Saturday 8 February, police say.
A 22-year-old man has since been charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon in connection with the incident.
He appeared before Hull Magistrates' Court last week and is due to appear before Hull Crown Court on 9 March.
Now, the Humberside force is appealing for anyone who saw what happened to get in touch.

Environment Secretary George Eustice has outlined the government's response to major flooding across England and Wales.
“We have done a lot of work over the last five years to invest in flood defences. Some £2.5bn, 600 projects protecting over 200,000 properties and there is more work under way with £4bn committed in the next five years," he told BBC Breakfast.
Responding to local criticism of the response to flooding in York, which is expected to reach a high water level at about 10:45, Mr Eustice says millions has already been spent on defences there.
“We’ve got around £80m of projects around York both managing water upstream but also five years ago improving the capacity of the Foss barrier,” he says.
“We have got projects that are in the planning stage right now to protect some of the communities down alongside the River Ouse."
If you're out and about in Doncaster this Monday morning, be aware that several roads are closed due to flooding.

A doctor from Leeds who worked at the same private healthcare firm as rogue breast surgeon Ian Paterson has been suspended, it has emerged.
Spire Healthcare said Mike Walsh - a specialist in trauma and orthopaedic surgery - was suspended in April 2018 over concerns about patient treatment.
Almost 50 of his patients from its Leeds hospital had been recalled.
The details emerged following an independent inquiry into Paterson, who is serving a 20-year jail sentence.
Paterson was found guilty in 2017 of intentionally wounding his patients.
Earlier this month, an inquiry into the breast surgeon found that a culture of "avoidance and denial" had allowed him to perform botched and unnecessary operations on hundreds of women.
Spire said in a statement that it acted after concerns were raised about Mr Walsh's work at its hospital in Leeds in 2018.
Communities in Calderdale escaped the brunt of Storm Dennis at the weekend, but calls have been made for more to be done to prevent future flooding.
The Army was sent to Mytholmroyd to shore up defences at the weekend, with residents and businesses - many recovering from the previous weekend's deluge - fearing the worst.
Calderdale council leader Tim Swift praised the efforts, but said people had been let down by government austerity.
The Department for the Environment and Rural Affairs has said investment in flood defences takes place where the risk is highest, wherever it is across the country, and each scheme is carefully considered.
Hundreds of properties were flooded across Yorkshire last week during of Storm Ciara, with many of those in Hebden Bridge, Mytholmroyd and surrounding areas.
Flood warnings have been removed for the Calder Valley although five remain in place for other parts of West Yorkshire., external
