Sad news. A decent guy and legendary figure.
The power Pele got on that header is unbelievable

Mine too. Undoubtedly one of the greats of the game. I always hated going in goals as a kid but when I had to I imagined I was him and instantly enjoyed being in goal.very sad news. one of my first footballing heroes. RIP Gordon
A genuine legend of the game.
Correct. He was driving to a friend's house the day after his match to watch highlights of his game as a decision had gone against him. Had a Ford Consul. Bizarre the stuff you remember as a kid But very sad news for the 1966 squad.Did he lose an eye in that crash I seem to remember reading that?
He did retire from professional football, but subsequently played for Fort Lauderdal in the MLSYes think that ended his career.
Exactly will be remembered forever unlike some of the Prima Donnas of today.RIP Gordon Banks, best keeper in the world when I was growing up. Am I correct in remembering he only won one honour, a League Cup with Stoke? Regardless of that up there with the best of the best.
