Alex Stepney assured himself of Old Trafford immortality in one moment of explosive action on a balmy May night at Wembley in 1968. Matt Busby's men were locked at one-apiece with Benfica in the European Cup Final. Extra time loomed as Eusebio outstripped the United defence and found only the 'keeper between himself and glory. The brilliant Portuguese shot hard and low, Alex dived and grabbed the ball - United were reprieved and went on to reach the end of their rainbow. Stepney was never a flashy performer, his most impressive qualities were his positioning and handling , though he could also demonstrate agility when required. Alex was a good `talker' who expected - and usaully got - the final say in his penalty box, and was a constructive user of the ball who would never hoof it upfield when he could throw to a well-placed colleague. He made 535 appearances for United and kept 175 clean sheets. Despite being highly talented his international appearences were few and far between because Gordon Banks and Peter Bonetti were the undisputed number 1 and 2 at the time.
