Gordon Banks

On the news, I’ll guarantee that the save they’ll keep showing will be the one v Pelé, but for me, it doesn’t come close to the penalty save in the dying moments of the League Cup semi final v West Ham which kept us in the tie and ultimately allowed us to get to Wembley and lift the trophy. 

Hurst basically twats it and Banks said that he’d dived too far to his right and had to twist to get his arms to it. The speed of his reactions and the strength in his arms (those balls were heavy) are something else. 

RIP genuine Stoke and England legend.

wow, incredible save. 

I think you'll see quite a reaction in the to his passing in the next few days. Hard to think of an English player with a greater reputation around the world. Moore and Charlton deffo - but anyone else? I don't think so. I was too young to see him play but he always came across as a true gent after his retirement. 

RIP Gordon.
