Alex Stepney cost Manchester United a world record fee of £55,000 when he joined from Chelsea in 1966.
Sir Matt Busby described his signing as ‘the single most important factor’ behind that season’s title win. He kept a clean sheet on his debut in a 1-0 win over Manchester City and a total of 175 during a glittering Old Trafford career.
His record was broken by Peter Schmeichel before David de Gea surpassed the Dane’s landmark in the Carabao Cup final with his 181st clean sheet. Here Stepney tells Sportsmail how the two goalkeepers compare.
