David Pegg, (September 20 1935 – February 6 1958) was one of the eight Manchester United players that lost their lives in the Munich air disaster February 6, 1958. He was the club's first-choice left-winger, had collected two league championship winner's medals in the two seasons leading up to the Munich air disaster, and made one appearance for the England team just before his death. He was tipped by many to become the successor to Tom Finney in the England team. Still only 23 years old when he died, he was one of the youngest people to die out of the 23 who lost their lives at Munich. He was born in the village of Highfields north of Doncaster and he was buried in Doncaster's Redhouse Cemetery, near where he was born. A memorial chair was dedicated in his memory at St George's Church in Highfields and when that church was closed the chair was moved to All Saints Church in Woodlands which now serves both vilages.
