Manchester United’s legendary goalkeeper Alex Stepney today (Friday) led the club’s representation at the memorial service of Franz Beckenbauer at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
Before the ceremony, Stepney visited Manchesterplatz, the site of the 1958 Munich Air Disaster, to lay a wreath for his team-mate and friend Sir Bobby Charlton and their great on-pitch rival Beckenbauer.
Bayern Munich legend Beckenbauer passed away this month at the age of 78, three months after Sir Bobby died aged 86, representing a huge loss for European football of two of its greatest figures.
