Benfica v Manchester United Programme May 1968

Manchester United Programme collector

This is the official programme from the 29th May 1968 clash between Benfica and Manchester United in the European Champions Club Cup.

The game was played in front of a packed crowd at Wembley, with 92,225 in attendance to watch Manchester United win 4 – 1 in extra time.

Denis Law was sidelined due to a knee injury, and watched the game from hospital, as United became the first English club to win the tournament, a year after Celtic.

Munich survivors Bobby Charlton and Bill Foulkes both played in the game, which was the culmination of ten years of rebuilding after the tragic crash in 1958.

Charlton scored the opener in the 53rd minute, before Jaime Graca leveled in the 79th minute for Benfica. Best (92), Kidd (94) and then Charlton again in the 99th minute wrapped the game up for United in extra time.
