Sad to hear about Gordon Banks as a child growing up in the 60,s even in Scotland everyone playing in goal wanted to be “Gordon Banks “ .His save against Pele will never be forgotten may he rest in peace .#GordonBanks

By the time I watched football regularly Gordon Banks was already a legend, and talked about as the standard for goalkeepers along with Lev Yashin. RIP.

The brilliant Gordon Banks, World Cup winner 1966 and remembered also for that special save from Pele 1970.
Lovely man. RIP
