Alex Stepney assured himself of Old Trafford immortality in one moment of explosive action on a balmy May night at Wembley in 1968.

Alex was the one constant figure throughout an incident- packed, often turbulent 12 years in which he played for five managers and which saw United take the game's most glittcring prizes, plunge into the pit of relegation and emerge transformed to record new triumphs.
