Yes and no, John. I think special things happen in special seasons. I'm not religious or particularly superstitious, but moments like Schmikes' save - or Stepney's save from Eusebio near the end of normal time in the 68 final - are almost pre-ordained.
We had to be awful in the 99 CL final in order to win in those last glorious minutes. And it just had to be Teddy and Ole scoring. So the Dane's save was vital, but it was just part of the whole Treble dream sequence. "If he hadn't saved it...?" is almost an irrelevance. He just had to, and he was bound to, and he did. Didn't you feel that it was a certainty that Bergkamp would fail to score? And were you unfazed by Juve's two-goal lead on their own pitch? I was, because everything just felt like it was our season, and there was nothing to worry about. I haven't felt that way since, mind you, but there are signs...
