Lost tapes tell the story of Manchester United cult goalkeeper Les Sealey and his time under Sir Alex Ferguson.
The previously little-lauded shot-stopper from London's East End happened to be involved in some of the most important matches in the club's history.
He also played in the side that won the European Cup Winners' Cup against Barcelona in 1991 – United's first European title since 1968. Cult hero status came Sealey's way in 1990 when the 32-year-old, on loan from Luton, displaced Scotland international Jim Leighton in goal for the 1-0 FA Cup final replay win over Crystal Palace.By April 1991, Sealey had become a first-team regular after the loan became a permanent move, and he was at Wembley again asWith no reserve goalkeepers on the bench, Sealey stayed on the pitch following an injury in the 1991 League Cup final.
In July 1991, Sealey moved to Aston Villa. He returned to Old Trafford on a free transfer in 1993 and was understudy to Peter Schmeichel.
