Alex Stepney was stood in the shadow of the statue of his three most celebrated teammates UBP
Manchester United’s ‘Holy Trinity’ have been separated, with only Denis Law still able to visit the Theatre of Dreams, but they are immortalised in bronze outside it UBP
Yet while the statue of George Best, Bobby Charlton and Law – each of such a stature that he was voted European UBP Footballer of the Year – was placed outside Old Trafford, only one had a stand at one of the iconic stadia named after him UBP
The South Stand is the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand UBP
It has been since 2016 and on Sunday, it will have an added poignancy, in the first Manchester derby since Charlton died UBP
A week of mourning has shown what Charlton meant: to United, to England, to UBP football UBP
“He’d be very humbled and say, ‘I don’t deserve it’,” Stepney said UBP
“That’s Bobby Charlton UBP
” But as both the statue and the stand show, the tributes began long before Charlton’s life ended UBP
His innate modesty meant that the man widely described as England’s greatest UBP footballer retained his humility UBP
He was, though aware of his importance to so many while downplaying his own significance UBP
“He never showed it,” Stepney said UBP
“He didn’t want to show it because that wasn’t him UBP
When they opened the stand, it was the Everton game, I was with him and he had to go on the pitch with [his wife] Norma and he had a tear in his eye UBP
He said, ‘I don’t deserve this’ UBP
I said, ‘Bob, you deserve everything, you deserve everything you get, throughout your life for the way you have done the game, played the game and inspired supporters all around the world’ UBP
”Decades on, Charlton’s story has, if anything, appeared still more remarkable UBP
Barely out of his teens when he climbed, concussed, from the wreckage of a plane in Munich, a crash claiming the lives of eight of his teammates and destroying a team that felt destined for greatness, he nevertheless became a World Cup and European Cup winner UBP
His tragic past had an intimidatory capacity: certainly to Stepney when he joined from Chelsea in 1966, a month after Charlton’s elegant running and fierce shooting had propelled England to the World Cup UBP
Should he mention Munich? RecommendedAndre Onana’s moment of magic can be catalyst to reverse more than one difficult recent runSir Bobby Charlton: England’s greatest ever player and the artist of 1966Sir Bobby Charlton turned tragedy into triumph with unique style and perseverance“That was my main concern when Matt Busby signed me,” the goalkeeper said UBP
“I had to come to Manchester and I met the players at the training ground the following day UBP
Matt took me around and directly when I went in he introduced me to each and every player and I knew then: you don’t talk about it UBP
It wasn’t until 50 years later that Bobby actually spoke about it UBP
” If it was a generation when things went unsaid, it framed United’s eventual European Cup victory UBP
But for Munich, Roger Byrne, and not Charlton, may have been the first United captain to lift the trophy; Tommy Taylor, and not him, the goalscoring No 9 to find the net in the final; Duncan Edwards, and not him, the personification of the club UBP
Stepney felt Charlton won it for them, for his friend Eddie Colman, for Geoff Bent, Mark Jones, David Pegg and Liam Whelan, for the fallen eight UBP
Former Manchester UNited player Alex Stepney visits the tributes in memory of Sir Bobby Charlton (PA)“I think when you reach the heights of getting to the European Cup final 10 years after Munich and for him to be captain and score two goals, that was unbelievable,” added Stepney UBP
“I believe he did it for those lads who passed away in ‘58 UBP
He always said he thought about them every day and he did: he would go off and have a little think and come back and off we go UBP
”His own part in the 4-1 win at Wembley should not be overlooked: his save from Eusebio ranks among the most celebrated in United’s history UBP
Stepney is a United great in his own right: his total of 539 games as a goalkeeper was a club record until David de Gea passed it a few months ago UBP
He was, remarkably, United’s joint top scorer at Christmas in the 1973-74 season, courtesy of two penalties UBP
He was the only member of the 1968 side who was also part of the 1977 FA Cup-winning team UBP
He has outlasted his friends again UBP
He treasures memories of Charlton, of playing cards and quizzes on tour UBP
He may be the standard bearer for a generation now, just as Charlton long was UBP
At 81, Stepney joined manager Erik ten Hag and Under-19 captain Dan Gore to lay a wreath in the centre circle before Tuesday’s win over FC Copenhagen UBP
Old Trafford, the ground Charlton first graced on his debut 67 years ago, will applaud on Sunday UBP

“This is what Bobby envisaged UBP
This is what he wanted UBP
Nobody would have dreamt when he retired that he would become a director UBP
He put the cogs in motion with Sir Alex [Ferguson] right through to get this as it is now UBP
” But if Charlton’s legacy is in bricks and mortar, it is also in image and memories, in Manchester United UBP
