Great to hear the man himself describe the move as he saw it, and the Pele header - and how he kept it out. Unbelievable save. This was by far Brazil's toughest game of that 1970 World Cup triumph.
I'm Italian, but I lived in Britain for a few years. Somehow this save by Gordon Banks makes me proud to be British... though I'm not. Somehow Banks represents everything that's good and valuable about the human race.
Honor to a one of the greatest goalkeepers of the history of Football. I am Italian, and Dino Zoff and Gordon Banks were always in my dreams of young Football player.
Beautiful little film, elegiac almost; Banks himself so quiet, modest, gentle - qualities alien to most of today's footballers, of course. Thanks for posting it.
Without any doubt, Gordon Banks was the best goalkeeper ever. I have had a the chance to meet him with my great friend Don Mullan the irish writer of "a hero who could fly". I am french but Gordon was my boyhood hero. He is a fantastic gentleman who offerd me the poster signed of this save.
He's won the world cup, but his legacy is best known for shutting the door in Pele's face...a kick to the groin of Pele's prideful legacy. Wonderful documentary!
This was the best save that I saw. That was amazing!

Best goalkeeper to ever play football, and a true gentleman.
Tossers like Rooney and Fabregas could really learn something...

@Sidger7 agree with the rooney comment, recently his behaviour has been disgraceful, would not see banksee or pele swear in to the camera
