Alex Stepney stops Brian Kidd, then of City, at Maine Road.
He was certainly an underrated and incredibly consistent keeper. England had no shortage of good keepers back then, but yes I agree he’d have at least been given a proper go if United hadn’t been shit at the time Banks lost an eye.
It broke my heart that Kidd became such a prolific scorer after he left United.

Especially after the Doc praised him when he took over. He was upset that Kidd had been dropped for MacDougall. He sold the two of them not long afterwards.
Speaking of MacDougall, here's a picture from the day when he signed from Bournemouth.
United 2 West Ham 2. Lou Macari's debut. He got our second and equalizing goal Here he is watched by MacDougall and Jim Holton. (That wasn't the goal. It was a close range shot but this was the best I could do).

1973 and Mick Martin signs for United. Penny round collars, kipper ties, and chalk stripes. Paddy Crerand looks happy.

FA Cup semi-final 1965. Denis Law's shirt is in tatters as the ref tries to sort it all out. George Best is on the left David Herd - number 9 walks toward Law and Bobby Collins while big Jack Chrlton looks ready for a scrap. I thinks that's brother Bobby just behind him.
Jimmy Rimmer watches a shoyt from a Boro player go wide. Ian Ure, David Sadler and Willie Morgan are in frame during this 3rd Round FA Cup tie in January 1971. United lost the replay at Ayresome Park 1-2 with Best scoring for the reds.
My favourite Utd goal ever.Not a high quality photo but one of my favourite moments. Whitesides 110th minute winner in the FA Cup against Everton. I still remember Reid flying in the air when Moran was red carded.
I’ve got some great pics from the trophy parade in town, which I took, when we got our 19th league title and surpassed the scouser’s 18th title. I can’t embed these until I have 5 likes (as I’m still a newbie), I’m currently on 4 - so if anyone could like this post and then I can put the pics in here. Apols to the mods for being a bit cheeky, but they are great pics 
A quick query. I am now able to embed media but when I add the url (from my Flickr account) into the “insert pic” option - it is not uploading. Any thoughts?
1968 Manchester derby. Things getting a bit out of hand in the Scoreboard End.
On the pitch. April 1974. Willie Morgan dwarfed by a massive police sergeant.
Joe Mercer and Matt Busby together before the League Cup semi in 1969.
Respect. City and United fans on the 50th anniversary of Munich.
May 6th, 1967. Upton Park. The two Bobbies shake hands before United's 6-1 demolition of West Ham that clinched the title.
Looks AI generated.
Nemesis. Bestie weighs up Chopper Harris circa 1967.
A year after the World Cup final.

Amazing!
Easter 1967. Craven Cottage. George Cohen tussles with Best as Denil Law watches on. The game ended 2-2 with Best and Stiles scoring.
Bang average United pics
An acrobatic Denis Law goal at Selhurst Park
The King takes a break to speak to one his subjects...
A classic poacher's finish by the King at Anfield, made by George Best.
A sad day for Denis. He' s just scored against his old club and he walks towards the tunnel at Old Trafford.
Great action shot of Stevie Coppell at Upton Park.
Gordon McQueen turns away after scoring against Arsenal in the 1979 FA Cup Final. RIP big man.
I love this thread and a special thanks to all the older CAF for some of the vintage pictures. I know it cant be captured prehaps in a single photo but the way Citys players lost all hope after Wazzas 2 1 goal of the 2011 season just gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling. They were the better team after 1 1 and looked to turn around the game but Wazza had other ideas
Third best. After the booze and humiliating defenders
Georgie doing what he did best (second best?)

That’s not Selhurst Park…
You're right. He scored so many goals at Selhurst that I just assumed it was. Silly mistake to make.

Brian Greenhoff circa 1973.
I'm guessing here but this was taken during Best's ill-fated comeback under the Doc. If i'm right, the opponents are Birmingham and Best was subbed for Mick Martin. United won 1-0 with an Alex Stepney penalty.
I loved that kit. Everyone else hated it

Ok so we got relegated, but we played some lovely stuff in the Spring of ‘74.
