Ian Denzil Greaves (26 May 1932 – 2 January 2009) was an English football player and manager. He was born in Crompton, Lancashire.[1][2] He won a League Championship medal and an FA Cup runners-up medal while playing full-back for Manchester United between 1953 and 1960.[3] He was not with the United team when eight of their players died in the Munich air disaster on 6 February 1958, as he was ruled out by injury.[4] He was the first player to occupy the left-back position at United after the death of captain Roger Byrne at Munich.[5]
After leaving United in 1960, he later played for Lincoln City and Oldham Athletic.
