Here is one of the finest moments in Man United´s history: Matt Busby manager. The team included legendary players like George Best, Bobby Charlton and Alex Stepney (the classy Denis Law was injured in this match). The European Cup Final between Manchester United and Benfica, which at this point included the great Eusébio in the team.
Sir Bobby Charlton scored the first goal of the game, but with Benfica getting an equalizer. The intensity was exceptional and at a crucial time in the game, the Man United´s goalkeeper, Alex Stepney made a spectacular one-on-one save from Eusébio - the game went into extra time. At this point the players fitness clearly was effecting the play. Then George the wizard Best took the lead for Man U, and later on the 19 year old Brian Kidd extended the lead before Bobby Charlton finalized the deal by scoring the fourth.
The Champions Cup was headed to Old Trafford for the first time in history - but not the last :-)
