Tense and focused on the night of their footballing lives, John Aston (left), George Best and Bill Foulkes wave to the fans who turned Wembley into Old Trafford South ahead of the 1968 European Cup final.

In the first half of the game at Wembley alone, George was dumped on to the lush turf half a dozen times – usually tripped or smashed, once even hurled – and his patience began to wear thin. Benfica boss Otto Gloria had evidently identified the Irishman as United’s principal threat and, for all the Portuguese protestations of innocence, there was clearly a concerted campaign to nullify him by fair means or foul. Cruz was the main hatchet man, but it was Humberto who ended up being booked.
