I would like to think that if Gordon had been fit for the England game against Germany (I still could never imagine Banks letting in 3 goals) England would have gone through to the semi- finals. It would have only been then when the Mexican´s would have taken the English to heart. A Final against Brazil was on the card but a bacterial infection put an end to that .
The Greatest ever English team was denied their place in history. England would have gone on to dominate just as the German´s
I watched Gordon many times. I saw his last first division game against Liverpool. He was brilliant in his last game. Was only beating by a deflection.
The safest goalkeeper ever. Yashin may have been spectacular but Banks was safer. His positioning and timing were faultless. He instilled confidence and motivation inspiring the rest of team around him.
Gordon Banks' save against Pele just popped into my head while watching a game on the television, and here it is on utube Even though I was a wee Scottish boy I too pretended to be Banks during our neighboughood championship games.a LEGEND in goal keeping.
I am so happy to watch many times a week this wonderful movie of my very good friend Don Mullan about our boyhood hero : the greatest goalkeeper ever Gordon Banks. I have had the chance to meet him last year thanks to Don and I can say today that it was one of the best moment in my all life.
the latest English goalkeeper not to make a famous error and let his country down ...
