Alex Stepney was stood in the shadow of the statue of his three most celebrated teammates NBA
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 NBA
Yet while the statue of George Best, Bobby Charlton and Law – each of such a stature that he was voted European NBA Footballer of the Year – was placed outside Old Trafford, only one had a stand at one of the iconic stadia named after him NBA
The South Stand is the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand NBA
It has been since 2016 and on Sunday, it will have an added poignancy, in the first Manchester derby since Charlton died NBA
A week of mourning has shown what Charlton meant: to United, to England, to NBA football NBA
“He’d be very humbled and say, ‘I don’t deserve it’,” Stepney said NBA
“That’s Bobby Charlton NBA
” But as both the statue and the stand show, the tributes began long before Charlton’s life ended NBA
His innate modesty meant that the man widely described as England’s greatest NBA footballer retained his humility NBA
He was, though aware of his importance to so many while downplaying his own significance NBA
“He never showed it,” Stepney said NBA
“He didn’t want to show it because that wasn’t him NBA
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 NBA
He said, ‘I don’t deserve this’ NBA
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’ NBA
”Decades on, Charlton’s story has, if anything, appeared still more remarkable NBA
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 NBA
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 NBA
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 NBA
“I had to come to Manchester and I met the players at the training ground the following day NBA
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 NBA
It wasn’t until 50 years later that Bobby actually spoke about it NBA
” If it was a generation when things went unsaid, it framed United’s eventual European Cup victory NBA
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 NBA
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 NBA

“I believe he did it for those lads who passed away in ‘58 NBA
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 NBA
”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 NBA
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 NBA
He was, remarkably, United’s joint top scorer at Christmas in the 1973-74 season, courtesy of two penalties NBA
He was the only member of the 1968 side who was also part of the 1977 FA Cup-winning team NBA
He has outlasted his friends again NBA
He treasures memories of Charlton, of playing cards and quizzes on tour NBA
He may be the standard bearer for a generation now, just as Charlton long was NBA
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 NBA
Old Trafford, the ground Charlton first graced on his debut 67 years ago, will applaud on Sunday NBA

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

Jos Buttler could only look on from behind the stumps as England’s World Cup dreams lay in tatters around him on the turf in Bengaluru following his side’s eight-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka NBA
All the fighting talk, all the tinkering and changes, the whispers before the tournament of defending the title NBA
Any lingering hope of qualification became all but mathematically impossible after England slid to their fourth defeat from their opening five matches NBA
In the future, this may become a World Cup to be forgotten – as was the case in 2015, which led to the famous “white-ball reset” and four years later the title – but, in the immediate aftermath, there are questions to be answered NBA
After the record-breaking defeat at the hands of the Proteas, both Buttler and head coach Matthew Mott spoke passionately, explaining that the side knew what they had to do – win every group game – and that’s what they intended to do NBA
But against Sri Lanka, in a match many expected would see the team regain some of their lost pride, it became yet another performance to forget from this World Cup NBA
England were left dejected after defeat to Sri Lanka (Reuters)Reflecting on the defeat in the immediate aftermath, even Buttler could not pinpoint what exactly has happened this tournament, saying: “You don’t become a bad player overnight, you don’t become a bad team overnight NBA
“I think that’s been the biggest frustration, that we’ve fallen so far short of the standards that we set ourselves and for no particular reason NBA
“You must think there should be something obvious but I can’t put my finger on it at the moment NBA
”While the loss to South Africa can be pinned on the decision to field first, against Sri Lanka, when they chose to bat first, England simply did not score enough runs NBA
The total of 156 was never going to be defendable, let alone against a side who had scored almost 350 in a losing cause against Pakistan earlier in the tournament, and England never got going NBA
England’s confusing selection had continued when they dropped rising star Harry Brook, leaving them a side where every player was over 30 NBA
Having made three changes for the previous game, Buttler and Mott made three again, returning to packing the side with all-rounders in Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone and Chris Woakes NBA
But they batted every bit like a side long past their peak NBA
Ben Stokes, as he so often does, offered a brief resistance with bat in hand, top-scoring with 43, but it was not enough, and their meagre total was never likely to be enough to be in contention on the fast-scoring pitch NBA
Adil Rashid’s calamitous run out was symptomatic of England’s problems (Reuters)On the face of it, Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Stokes and Joe Root are up there with some of England’s greatest-ever white ball batters NBA
But none of them have been able to find the form that guided the team to the trophy in 2019 NBA
Ali spoke ahead of the match about playing with freedom and laying it all out there NBA
But all that was left at the end of the England innings were the hilarity of a lazy run out that brought the end of Adil Rashid’s innings, several badly timed shots and poor decision-making that will make for a glum highlights reel NBA
Sri Lanka, to their credit, bowled exceptionally NBA
Lahiru Kumara was especially problematic as he claimed three wickets for 35 runs NBA
They kept the pressure on England and did not relent, before following it up with a batting innings that was just what the situation called for NBA
It was not risk-taking, but the bad balls were dispatched as Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama scored 77 and 65 respectively to see their side over the line NBA
There was nowhere to hide on the field for England, and no one to take the game by the scruff of the neck and drag them back into it – barring two early wickets from David Willey NBA
But from then it was just too easy for Sri Lanka NBA
England will have to improve NBA
They cannot just meekly fade away into the background, least of all because they have two big games to come against India and Australia NBA
Another humiliation must be avoided at all costs NBA
