Just noticed this on the BBC site. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47196017Whether you like football or not Gordon's from a era far removed from the overpaid prima-donnas of now and he was a World Cup winner too. RIP Gordon!

I'd just spotted that too.
As many know I've never been a footie fan but I do respect those from that era that played well, had great success, but never succumbed to the excesses that have blighted many since. I also remember his car accident that cost him the sight in one eye and the inevitable early end to his career.
R.I.P. Gordon

Great goalkeeper, the save he made from Pele in the 1970 world cup was amazing. I do remember him at the rail end of his career, the car accident which caused him to lose an eye was at about the time I was just starting to get into football

RIP Gordon Banks, although never been a football fan either but he was from the era of sensible footballers that played for the sport and were not excessively over paid prima donnas of today.

This save was rated by Banksy as equal to his 1970 Pele save. Stoke got to the ‘72 league cup final and won it. I appeared 9 months after! I owe these boys my life. RIP Gordon.
