Gordon Banks,"Banks Of England"

[jimmyclarke23]

Well technically it is a British Anthem as the Queen is the legal head of state over the U.K. just the different entities within the U.K. can't all sing the same anthem as its a multi national country

[symmojnrally]

fantastic goalkeeper. the best there has ever been. FACT

[kon121]

robert green vs uas!!!

[TungstenKid]

Banks (like Peter Shilton) totally commanded the six-yard box as if to say to opposing forwards- "This is MY patch and don't you ever forget it".

Not many keepers have that ability to totally dominate.

[starryian007]

Gordon Banks was the greatest keeper England ever had. He had tremendous reflexes, strength and positional awareness. He was also as brave as a lion. In short, the perfect keeper.

[RightsHighway]

Great football ! Gordon is on our books - he has some great stories and is well pleased to find this up here -thanks

[eduardoisland]

Banks was a great shop stopper during a time when this was the only keeper's job. I would say Schmiechel and Nev Southall were better, only because they played more like a sweeper or last line of defence.

Best English keeper though? I suppose Banks was.

[chimpyfried]

Joe Hart is better than all the legends.

[hardyboyz6500]

Gordon Banks is the best damn goalkeeper that we'll ever have. Seaman - NO, Shilton - NO, James - NO, Robinson - NO, Banks - OH FUCKING HELL YEAH!!!!

[dontcomm]

@hardyboyz6500 Did you just compare Shilton and Banks to James and Robinson...? Two of the best keepers England have ever seen to two of the worst?

[realmadridsince1998]

@dontcomm They're nothing close to the worst. They've both had more than their fair share of injuries. They make mistakes (James more than anyone), but they make important saves for their teams. Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal could have beaten Blackburn at Ewood if it hadn't been for Robinson, and Portsmouth would have been relegated long before if James didn't pitch in with those saves. I would heavily criticize Seaman because he was only good for Arsenal, and not England.

[dontcomm]

@realmadridsince1998 Ok, first and foremost, I was being slightly sarcastic in that they are the worst - the point I was making was that they shouldn't be mentioned alongside the all-time greats.

[realmadridsince1998]

@dontcomm Well, it's been a long time since Shilton, and David and Paul are the best since. Rob Green is a loyal servant, but he isn't the best. I think that if Joe Hart gets the right experience and exposure, he'll be the best goalkeeper that England has had for a long time.

[ZOEMOENIA]

FOR THAT TIMES HE WAS ADVANCED.

[UnsounderGnome]

This is a great rendition of God Save the Queen, and great saves by Banks. Good video.

[Sonsempre29]

A good goalkeeper, but I have seen a lot of better keepers...he became famous mainly for his save against Pele.....beside that he was not at the same level as legends like Yashin, Zoff, Schmeichel, Meier, Buffon....but that is of course just my opinion...

[directHITz]

@Sonsempre29 and your opinion is wrong, in my opinion lol

[ronki23]

@Sonsempre29 better than England's other keepers lol

[ThePedroxD]

lol

[kzvxrpl]

This song represents Great Britain. Banks played for ENGLAND.

[97James79]

Yeah but Scotland and Wales have their own anthems, so I'd class this as more of an English anthem than British.

[Bighairyfart]

@97James79

not english really mind especially if its just by default, england might be switching to sweet chariot or this green and pleasant land i think

[cookieboy56]

gordan has got to be one of the best ever goalies of all time

[fypong]

@cookieboy56

I will certainly second that. to me, Gordon banks was quite simply, THE BEST !!!!!!!!
