Gordon Banks R.I.P

Post by Spinynorman »

Blimey. :(

Gordon Banks has passed away. He was in goal at my first ever football match when Leicester beat Villa at Villa Park 1-0.

Best goalie I ever saw. R.I.P

A bit before my time but always came across as respected and a nice guy - as well as being forever legend for being one of the 1966 team.

(Didn't realise til I read the obituaries but apparently he came close to signing for Liverpool under Shankly)

I remember the save he made against Pele, 5 of us glued to the box sat in silence not believing what we'd just seen. One of the best goalies of all time.
